[Verse]
 
Dm                 Bb                     F
I'm ten miles from town, and I just broke down
             C                        Dm
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
              Bb                       F
I'm out here alone, just trying to get home
                  C                      G
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
(G)          Bb
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
G               Bb           C
  To see you so I've started runnin'
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb           F
All that I'm after
     C            Dm
Is a life full of laughter
   Bb          F              C
As long as I'm laughing with you
                 Bb             F          C          Dm
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
Bb        C               Dm
After the life we've been through
         Bb              C          Dm
'Cause I know there's no life after you
 
 
(The lead guitarist does a little solo, riff thing over top of the following chords):
Dm   Bb   F   C
 
 
[Verse]
 
Dm                   Bb                      F
   The last time we talked, the night that I walked
              C                      Dm
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
               Bb                   F
I must've been high, to say you and I
                 C                       G
weren't meant to be an' just wasting my time
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
(G)         Bb
Oh, why did I ever doubt you
G                   Bb           C
  You know, I would die here without you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb           F
All that I'm after
     C            Dm
Is a life full of laughter
   Bb          F             C
As long as I'm laughing with you
                 Bb             F          C          Dm
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
Bb        C               Dm
After the life we've been through
         Bb              C          Dm
'Cause I know there's no life after you
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Dm                       Bb
You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
F                      C
After this time spent alone
                            Dm
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Bb                                  F                      C
   Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
 
So I'm running back to tell you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb           F
All that I'm after
     C            Dm
Is a life full of laughter
    Bb           F             C
Without you, God knows what I'd do, yeah
 
Bb           F
All that I'm after
     C            Dm
Is a life full of laughter
   Bb          F              C
As long as I'm laughing with you
 
                 Bb             F          C          Dm
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
Bb        C               Dm
After the life we've been through, yeah
  Bb              C
I know there's no life after you
 
 
[Outro]
 
    Bb              F           C
You know there's no life after you
    Bb              F          C
You know there's no life after you
    Bb              F           C
You know there's no life after you
Bb             F          C
No, there's no life after you
F
Yeah

great tab, i actually find it easier to put a capo on the first fret and play the power chords with the high e and b strings open...I'm pretty sure that may be what daughtry does too..

After 3 years I finally signed up to the site just to say perfect tab... All the other ones for this song suck

Switch to -3 and put capo on 3rd fret, easier to follow chords while singing, hand doesn't move around the neck as much
