Chords

[Intro] | C | C | C | C [Verse 1]
        C
Oh, the dead don't die any more than you or I

             G                          Fmaj7              C
They're just ghosts inside a dream of a life that we don't own

           C
They walk around us all the time, never payin' any mind

       G                          Fmaj7             C
To the silly lives we lead or the reaping we've all sown
[Chorus 1]
          F                              C
There's a cup of coffee waiting on every corner

G                               Fmaj7             C
Someday we're gonna wake up and find the corner's gone

        C                                 F
But the dead will still be walking 'round this ol' world alone

         C                      G              C
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
[Interlude] | F | G | C | C [Verse 2]
            C
There'll be old friends walking 'round in a somewhat-familiar town

         G                 Fmaj7               C
That you saw once when you looked up from your phone

       C
Nobody bothers saying hi and you can save all your goodbyes

     G                      Fmaj7          C
Stop trying to pretend that we're all not alone
[Chorus 2]
        F                            C
And the streets look so empty in the morning

            G                           Fmaj7                C
There'll be no one out at night for the lights to shine down on

        C                                  F
But the dead'll still be walking 'round in this old world alone

         C                      G              C
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
[Bridge]
G                                    C
Hearts break when loved ones journey on

G                                       C
At the thought that they're now forever gone

      C                                 F
So we tell ourselves they're all still around us all the time

C                            G               C
Gone but not forgotten, just memories left behind
[Instrumental] | F | F | C | C | G | G | Fmaj7 | C [Outro]
        C                                  F
But the dead'll still be walking 'round in this old world alone

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

         C                      G              Fmaj7  G  C
Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
