capo 2
[Intro]
Em7, Cadd9, G, Dsus2
(Note the rhythm is syncopated (off beat) so you should probably listen to the background
piano part very closely)
Continue pattern for first verse
[Verse]
I wanna fall inside your ghost
And fill up every hole inside my mind
And I want everyone to know
That I am half a soul
Divided
[Chorus]
Am C
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
G D
I said, "Don't be afraid."
I said, "Don't be afraid."
We're going home.
C
Em7, Cadd9, G, Dsus2
[Verse]
I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless beast of death I've made for you
A mortal writing piece of song
Will help me carry on
But these you heard
[Chorus]
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid."
I said, "Don't be afraid."
We're going home.
[Bridge]
(No guitar)
So the hearse ran out of gas
A passenger purse and grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab
A beautifully planned taxi cab
A cab, had it cleared out back
And two men started to unpack
Driving once again
But now this time there were three men
And then I heard one of them say
"I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade
When all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate
So he could see another day
Then I cracked open my box
Someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot
Where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more,
Pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor
And found the brother we're searching for
Then there were three men up front
All I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked them am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead
And then one turned around to say,
"We're driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away
And all you did will be undone."
G D
I said, "Don't be afraid."
