After the Last Tear Falls
Words and music by Andrew Osenga & Andrew Peterson

this is how I did it. Capo 1 in E
if you want to do the key change then
Capo 3 in D, key change to E
so just transpose it and if you don't know 
how to transpose you should learn.


intro: E G#m A A 

          E         G#m
After the last tear falls
          A
After the last secret's told
          E           G#m                     A
After the last bullet tears through flesh and bone
          E           G#m
After the last child starves
             A                   B
And the last girl walks the boulevard
          C#m                       G#m
After the last year that's just too hard 
         A
There is love
            B
Love, love, love
         A
There is love
            B
Love, love, love
         A
There is love


After the last disgrace
After the last lie to save some face
After the last brutal jab from a poison tongue
After the last dirty politician
After the last meal down at the mission
After the last lonely night in prison

There is love
Love, love, love
There is love
Love, love, love
There is love

           E
And in the end, the end is
G#m
Oceans and oceans
   A             A
Of love and love again
                  E
We'll see how the tears that have fallen
     G#m
Were caught in the palms
       A                     B
Of the Giver of love and the Lover of all
          C#m                G#m          A
And we'll look back on these tears as old tales


'Cause after the last plan fails
After the last siren wails
After the last young husband sails off to join the war
After the last "this marriage is over"
After the last young girl's innocence is stolen
After the last years of silence that won't let a heart open

There is love
Love, love, love
There is love

And in the end, the end is
Oceans and oceans
Of love and love again
We'll see how the tears that have fallen
Were caught in the palms
Of the Giver of love and the Lover of all
And we'll look back on these tears as old tales

'Cause after the last tear falls
There is love
