Intro G 

verse 1 
G       Em   D6                            G 
  Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word 
              Bm                            A               G 
After all the breath, and the dirt, and the fires are burnt 
                  Em         D6                          G 
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go 
                  Bm                                   A 
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light of the afterglow 
N.C. 
I've gotta know 
 
        Gmaj7       Em9 
Can we work it out? 
            D6 
Scream and shout till we work it out? 
Gmaj7        Bm 
Can we just work it out? 
            D6 
Scream and shout till we work it out? 

         Gmaj7     F#  Bm 
Till we work it out

Till we work it out 

verse 2 
G       Em     D6                            G 
  Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next 
                   Bm                                    A 
Oh, it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window, or a shallow sea 
A                 G 
Could you see me? 
                    Em 
And after all this time 
          D6                           G 
It's like nothing else we used to know 
                  Bm                                   A 
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light of the afterglow 
N.C. 
I've gotta know 
 
        Gmaj7       Em9 
Can we work it out? 
            D6 
Scream and shout till we work it out?

Can we just work it out? 
            D6 
Scream and shout till we work it out?

Where do we go, where do we go?"

When love is gone
