Intro
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 E
without a clue
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
No need for a hand
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 D
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
G# gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 E
You're asleep until you hit the ground
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
One for this road and another for after?
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 D
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
G#m B F#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
C#
Chasing the afterglow
G#m B F#
The outcome is set, as far as I know
G#m D#m C#
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
F#m A B
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]
F#m E B
F#m A B C# E
[Verse 2]
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
The gorge of the instant devours the future
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 E
To spit it out as a fading memory
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 F#m
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
F#m F#sus2 F#m F#sus2 D
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
G#m B F#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
C#
Chasing the afterglow
G#m B F#
The outcome is set, as far as they know
G#m B D#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
C# G#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
D#m C#
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
C#
So you don't wanna see
C#
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
C#
And you don't trust a single one
A#m F# G#
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
A#m F# G#6 G#
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
C#
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
C#
Is this light just based on perception now?
A#m F# G#
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
A#m F# G#6 G#
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
C#
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
C#
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
C#
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)
A#m F# G#
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
A#m F# G#6 G#
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)
C#
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
C#
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
A#m F# G#
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
A#m F# G#6 G#
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

[Bride 2]
G#m F# E
I try to look as far as the eye can see
C#m D#m E
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
B G#m F#
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
C#
Chasing the afterglow
G#m B F#
The outcome is set, as far as they know
G#m B D#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
C# G#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
D#m C#
Time and again it's screaming my name
