Arcade Fire – Afterlife (Guitar)

E    B     F#                       G#m
Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word

E             B                           F#               G#m
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt

E                  B     F#                           G#m
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go

E                  B                                    F#
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light

        G#m
Of the afterglow

G#m
I've gotta know…

F#             E
Can we work it out?

                 G#m                    B      F#
If we scream and shout 'till we work it out

                     E
Can we just work it out?

            G#m                      B
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

                   E                    G#m
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out

                 F#                      E
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out

E    B       F#                       G#m   F#
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next

E                B                                      F#   
Oh it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window

             G#m
Or a shallow sea

             F#
Could you see me?

E                  B 
And after all this time

          F#                       G#m     F#
It's like nothing else we used to know

E                  B                                    F#
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light

             G#m
Of the afterglow

G#m
I've gotta know…

F#              E
Can we work it out?

                  G#m                    B
Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out

F#                    E
Can we just work it out?

            G#m                      B
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

B
But you say

F#  E
Oh

               G#m
When love is gone

               B
Where does it go?

B
And you say

F#  E
Oh

              G#m
When love is gone

               B
Where does it go?

                 E
And where do we go?

             G#m
Where do we go?

             F#
Where do we go?

             E
Where do we go?

E         B
And after this

F#                  G#m
Can it last another night?

E                B
After all the bad advice

     F#                       G#m
Had nothing at all to do with life

G#m
I've gotta know

F#              E
Can we work it out?

                  G#m                    B
Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out

F#                    E
Can we just work it out?

            G#m                      B
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

B
But you say

F#  E
Oh

               G#m
When love is gone

               B
Where does it go?

F#  E
Oh

              G#m
When love is gone

               B
Where does it go?

F#  E
Oh

              G#m
When love is gone

              B
Where did it go?

F#  E
Oh

              G#m
When love is gone

              B
Where did it go?

                 F#   E
And where do we go?

B
It's just an afterlife

B
It's just an afterlife

B
It's just an afterlife with you

B
It's just an afterlife
