Intro
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 D
without a clue
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
No need for a hand
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 C
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
F# gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 D
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
One for this road and another for after?
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 C
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
B
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
F#m A E
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
B
Chasing the afterglow
F#m A E
The outcome is set, as far as I know
F#m C#m B
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
Em G A
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 D
To spit it out as a fading memory
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 Em
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Em Esus2 Em Esus2 C
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
B
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
F#m A E
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
B
Chasing the afterglow
F#m A E
The outcome is set, as far as they know
F#m A C#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
B F#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
C#m B
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
B
So you don't wanna see
B
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
B
And you don't trust a single one
G#m E F#
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
G#m E F#6 F#
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
B
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
B
Is this light just based on perception now?
G#m E F#
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
G#m E F#6 F#
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
B
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
B
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
B
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)
G#m E F#
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
G#m E F#6 F#
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)
B
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
B
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
G#m E F#
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
G#m E F#6 F#
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]
F#m E D
I try to look as far as the eye can see
Bm C#m D
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
A F#m E
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
B
Chasing the afterglow
F#m A E
The outcome is set, as far as they know
F#m A C#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
B F#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
C#m B
Time and again it's screaming my name
