Intro
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 C
without a clue
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
No need for a hand
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 A#
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
E gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 C
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
One for this road and another for after?
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 A#
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
A
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
Em G D
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
A
Chasing the afterglow
Em G D
The outcome is set, as far as I know
Em Bm A
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
Dm F G
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

Dm F G A C
[Verse 2]
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 C
To spit it out as a fading memory
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 Dm
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Dm Dsus2 Dm Dsus2 A#
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
Em G D
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
A
Chasing the afterglow
Em G D
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Em G Bm
Is it the end or maybe the outset
A Em
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Bm A
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
A
So you don't wanna see
A
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
A
And you don't trust a single one
F#m D E
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
F#m D E6 E
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
A
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
A
Is this light just based on perception now?
F#m D E
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
F#m D E6 E
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
A
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
A
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
A
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)
F#m D E
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
F#m D E6 E
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)
A
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
A
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
F#m D E
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
F#m D E6 E
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

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