Intro
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 A#
without a clue
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
No need for a hand
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Ab
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A# A#sus4 A#
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
D gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 A#
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
One for this road and another for after?
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Ab
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
G
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
Dm F C
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
G
Chasing the afterglow
Dm F C
The outcome is set, as far as I know
Dm Am G
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
Cm Eb F
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 A#
To spit it out as a fading memory
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Cm
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Cm Csus2 Cm Csus2 Ab
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
Dm F C
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
G
Chasing the afterglow
Dm F C
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Dm F Am
Is it the end or maybe the outset
G Dm
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
Am G
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
G
So you don't wanna see
G
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
G
And you don't trust a single one
Em C D
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Em C D6 D
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
G
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
G
Is this light just based on perception now?
Em C D
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
Em C D6 D
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
G
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
G
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
G
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)
Em C D
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
Em C D6 D
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)
G
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
G
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
Em C D
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
Em C D6 D
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)

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