[E]Morning after snowstorm
Stand in the silence
Almost feel reborn all al[C]one on the street[A]
It's a certain sort of stillness whe[E]n the quiet surrounds you
The only[C] sound your shovel on concrete[A]
[F#m][A]
I remember those p[F#m]iles from the snow plows a[E]lways seemed much bigg[A]er back when I was kid
Pushed all of the snow to the [Dbm]end of the drive[F#]way[A]
I was the only pers[F#m]on up in the neighbo[E]rhood[A]
[E]Morning after snowstorm
I turned the ignition and I started[C] my car[A]
[E]Morning after snowstorm
I scrped off my windshield with the edge of a credit card[C][A]
I remember that[F#] drive into work[F#m][A]
Still can hear the voice coming ov[F#]er the radio[A]

Listen to our experts give the best t[A]ips for the next time you entertain dinner guests

I th[A]ought of the day in a tie[G] in the kitchen I sat and I watched you put make-up on
Thought of the day in the bas[B]ement when I play[A]ed house[G]
[Bm] [A][B]
I felt[A] ashamed th[G]at I'd stayed in my head in the same place for so long
Because I was afraid to change
But that's not [A]an excuse to stay[G]
[A]Morning after sn[D]owstorm
I climbed up on the snowbank and I st[E]ared at the neighborhood[B]
Morning after snows[D]torm
[E]
I think I fi[Bm]nally understood what they meant when they said there[F#]'s a calm after the storm
Saw my gra[F#m]ndpa at his workbench bu[G]ilding grandma's bookshelf
Watched a [F#m]woman walk her trash out to the street
Father alone on the highway[E]
I heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work[F#m]
Saw my mother
[G]
Saw how history loops around all [B]of these mom[Bm]ents and then I saw you
In a dre[A]ss there with your eyes open wide to[Bm] put make-up on[A][G]
Thought of the day in the[B] basement that I pl[A]ayed house[G]
[B] [Bm] [A][Bm]
And I f[A]elt ashamed I'd ig[G]nored all the hands that extended before and around me
Because I was afraid to change
But that's not a[A]n excuse to st[G]ay
[A]It's not an excuse
