Afterlife – Avenged Sevenfold
Dm Fm
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen
Gm Fm
So unsure but it seems, ‘cause we’ve been waiting for you
Dm Fm
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Gm Fm
Of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway
Dm C Dm C
I see a distant light, but girl, this can’t be right
Dm C Gm
Such a surreal place to see, so how did this come to be?
A
Arrived too early
Dm Fm Gm C
And when I think of all the places I just don’t belong
Dm Fm Gm C Fm
I’ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
Reff
C Dm
I don’t belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Bb Fm
Escape from this afterlife
C Dm
‘Cause this time I’m right to move on and on
Bb
Far away from here
Dm Fm
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Gm Fm
Can leave this place but refrain, ‘cause we’ve been waiting for you
Dm Fm
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
Gm Fm
Of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway
Dm C
This piece on Earth’s not right (with my back against the wall)
Dm C
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
Dm C Gm
So out of place, don’t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that’s my sign
A
I’ve made up my mind
Dm Fm Gm C
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Dm Fm Gm C Fm
Please, understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
Reff
C Dm
I don’t belong here, we gotta move on, dear

Escape from this afterlife
C Dm
‘Cause this time I’m right to move on and on

Far away from here
C Dm
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
Bb Fm
This place full of peace and light
C Dm
And I’d hope you might take me back inside
Bb
When the time is right
Dm Fm C Bb
Loved ones back home all crying ‘cause they’re already missing me
Dm Fm C Bb
I pray by the grace of God that there’s somebody listening
Dm Fm C Bb
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken, I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Dm Fm C
Oh, Lord, I’ll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need)
Bb
(Another chance to live)
Reff
