Verse 1:
    C majorC
Oh, the dead don't die any more than you or I
       G+G             Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
They're just ghosts inside a dream of a life that we don't own
      C majorC
They walk around us all the time, never payin' any mind
    G+G             Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
To the silly lives we lead or the reaping we've all sown

Chorus 1:
     FF               C majorC
There's a cup of coffee waiting on every corner
G+G                Fmaj7Fmaj7       C majorC
Someday we're gonna wake up and find the corner's gone
    C majorC                 FF
But the dead will still be walking 'round this ol' world alone
     C majorC           G+G       C majorC
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on

Interlude:
| FF | G+G | C majorC | C majorC

      C majorC
There'll be old friends walking 'round in a somewhat-familiar town
     G+G         Fmaj7Fmaj7        C majorC
That you saw once when you looked up from your phone
    C majorC
Nobody bothers saying hi and you can save all your goodbyes
   G+G           Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
Stop trying to pretend that we're all not alone

Chorus 2:
    FF              C majorC
And the streets look so empty in the morning
      G+G              Fmaj7Fmaj7        C majorC
There'll be no one out at night for the lights to shine down on
    C majorC                 FF
But the dead'll still be walking 'round in this old world alone
     C majorC           G+G       C majorC
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on

Bridge:
G+G                  C majorC
Hearts break when loved ones journey on
G+G                    C majorC
At the thought that they're now forever gone
   C majorC                 FF
So we tell ourselves they're all still around us all the time
C majorC              G+G        C majorC
Gone but not forgotten, just memories left behind

Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
     C majorC           G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G C majorC
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
