These are After The Earthquake chords by Alvvays on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
A A D D
A A G G
A A G G
[Verse 1]
A
After the earthquake
G
Pictures hanging diagonally
A
Drive through crying in a milkshake
G
It wasn’t built to last
[Verse 2]
A
Up in the front seat
G
You were playing with the station
A
And I was fidgeting with the heat
D
Looking back to the vibrant
G Em
days of racket in the hall
[Chorus]
D A
Caution to the breeze
Em
Say you’ll climb your way
D A
out of your wake now-ow
Em
Velvet curtain drawn
D A
Flowers at your feet
C
Say you’ll contemplate
G A
how you’re weighed down
[Instrumental]
Em D A A
Em D A A
[Verse 3]
A
The pulse of the brakelight
G
is the colour of burning embers
A
If you wake up, will you remember
G
The awful things I said
at the edge of the bed?
[Verse 4]
A
Thrashing like a great white
As they rolled
G
you up on a stretcher
(I feel the northern
tide crashing)
And the faint words of
A
Jessica Fletcher
(on the pines)
Were drowned out by
D G Em
the sound of racket in the hall
(I feel the northern tide
crashing on the pines)
[Chorus]
D A
Caution to the breeze
Em
Say you’ll climb your way
D A
out of your wake now-ow
[Bridge 1]
Dmaj7
Those days, I’d never let
Gmaj7
you fall apart
Dmaj7
But things fade like the
Gmaj7
scent of a brand new car
Why would I ever fall in
Dmaj7
love again
E7 Em
When every detail is over
D A
the guardrail?
Em
Say you’ll climb your way
D A
out of your wake now
[Chorus]
A C
Say you’ll contemplate
Em A
how you’re weighed down
[Post-Chorus]
Em D A
Are you awake now?
Em D A
Are you awake now?
[Outro]
Em
Racket in the hall
D A
Caution to the breeze
Em
Velvet curtain drawn
D A
Flowers at your feet
[Outro]
Em D A A
C G A
