Intro: Ebm Db Ebm Db
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum
Ba da ba bum
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F# Ebm
I can hear planes flyin' over my head
B Db
Just hours before you occupied my bed
Ebm Abm
In our darkness we conjured up sunlight
Ebm Abm Db
In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight
Ebm B
But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face
Ebm Db
To the poetry the first time I heard your name
Ebm Db Abm
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick-drum
Ebm Db Ebm
And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone
Ebm
Uh oh, does he know
Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B Db
Make him think he's crazy
Ebm
While his paranoia grows
Ebm Db
What he should be asking
B
Is where did our love go
Db
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
Ebm
In another man's afterglow
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
Db
Where is the beat?
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
F# Ebm
So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
B Db
The voices in my head that caused this fury
Ebm Abm
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
Ebm Abm Db
But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire
Ebm B
I was your concubine and then your Madonna
Ebm Db
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama
Ebm Db Abm
How long is lonely supposed to last?
Ebm Db Ebm
I was naked and waiting for you to come back
Ebm
Uh oh, does he know
Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B Db
Make him think he's crazy
Ebm
While his paranoia grows
Ebm Db
What he should be asking
B
Is where did our love go
Db
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
Ebm
In another man's afterglow
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
Db
Where is the beat?
Ebm
Where did the beat go?
In another man's afterglow...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ebm Db
There's a cause and effect although I took the steps
Abm B
I dove off the bridge cause I had nothing left
Ebm Db
All I ever wanted was you
Ebm Db
And in the absence of you
B Db Ebm
I fell through
Ebm
Uh oh, does he know
Db
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
B Db
Make him think he's crazy
Ebm
While his paranoia grows

Then I wouldn't be baskin'
Ebm
In another man's afterglow

Where did the beat go?

Where is the beat?
Db
Where did the beat go?
Ebm
Where did the love go?
