Intro
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 G
without a clue
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
No need for a hand
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 F
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
B gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 G
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
One for this road and another for after?
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 F
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
E
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
Bm D A
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
E
Chasing the afterglow
Bm D A
The outcome is set, as far as I know
Bm F#m E
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
Am C D
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 G
To spit it out as a fading memory
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 F
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
Bm D A
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
E
Chasing the afterglow
Bm D A
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Bm D F#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
E Bm
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
F#m E
Time and again it's screaming my name

E
So you don't wanna see
E
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
E
And you don't trust a single one
C#m A B
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
C#m A B6 B
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
E
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
E
Is this light just based on perception now?
C#m A B
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
C#m A B6 B
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
E
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
E
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
E
To a point where you don't see why and where you run (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility
away and again)
C#m A B
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
C#m A B6 B
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight (Have to read in order just to understand read so
we can comprehend a trace of eternity)
E
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
E
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
C#m A B
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
C#m A B6 B
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

Bm A G
I try to look as far as the eye can see
Em F#m G
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
D Bm A
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
E
Chasing the afterglow
Bm D A
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Bm D F#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
E Bm
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
F#m E
Time and again it's screaming my name
