Intro
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 A
without a clue
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
No need for a hand
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 G
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Oh, serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Verse 1]
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
C# gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 A
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
One for this road and another for after?
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 G
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way
[Chorus 1]
C#m E B
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
F#
Chasing the afterglow
C#m E B
The outcome is set, as far as I know
C#m G#m F#
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
Bm D E
Buy I try to turn away
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 A
To spit it out as a fading memory
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 Bm
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 G
When my mindset fails to let me see
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?
[Chorus 2]
C#m E B
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
F#
Chasing the afterglow
C#m E B
The outcome is set, as far as they know
C#m E G#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
F# C#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
G#m F#
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
F#
So you don't wanna see
F#
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
F#
And you don't trust a single one
D#m B C#
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
D#m B C#6 C#
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?
F#
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
F#
Is this light just based on perception now?
D#m B C#
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
D#m B C#6 C#
From ease through fire into the afterglow...
F#
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
F#
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
F#
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)
D#m B C#
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs that we)
D#m B C#6 C#
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)
F#
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
F#
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
D#m B C#
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual juvenility away
and again)
D#m B C#6 C#
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can comprehend
a trace of eternity)
G#
[Bride 2]
C#m B A
I try to look as far as the eye can see
F#m G#m A
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh
[Chorus]
E C#m B
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
F#
Chasing the afterglow
C#m E B
The outcome is set, as far as they know
C#m E G#m
Is it the end or maybe the outset
F# C#m
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
G#m F#
Time and again it's screaming my name
