[Intro]
Amaj7 Dsus2 A Asus2
Amaj7 Dsus2 A Asus2
[Verse 1]
A7 Dsus2 A
I wanna fall inside your ghost
Asus2 A7 Dsus2 A Asus2
And fill up every hole inside my mind
A7 Dsus2 A
And I want everyone to know
Asus2 A7 Dsus2
That I am half a soul divided
A Asus2
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm C
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Bm F E
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
Bm E
And if I'm not there and I'm far away, I said
[Chorus]
A C#m A7
"Don't be afraid."
A C#m A7
I said, "Don't be afraid."
Aadd4
We're going home.
[Verse 2]
A7 Dsus2 A Asus2
A7 Dsus2 A Asus2
A7 Dsus2 A
I wanna strip myself of breath
Asus2 A7 Dsus2 A Asus2
A breathless beast of death I've made for you
A7 Dsus2 A
A mortal writing piece of song
Asus2 A7
Will help me carry on
Dsus2 A Asus2
But these you heard
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm C
Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Bm F E
Either way you're by my side until my dying days
Bm E
And if I'm not there and I'm far away, I said
[Chorus]
A C#m A7
"Don't be afraid."
A C#m A7
I said, "Don't be afraid."
Aadd4
We're going home.
[Verse 3]
A C#m A7
A C#m A7
Okay
A
So the hearse ran out of gas
C#m
A passenger person grabbed a map
A7
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
A
He checked his watch and grabbed a cab
C#m
A beautifully plain taxi cab
A7
A cab, had it cleared out back
A7
And two men started to unpack
A
Driving once again
C#m
But now this time there were three men
A7
And then I heard one of them say
A7
"I know the night will turn to grey
A
I know the stars will start to fade
C#m
When all the darkness fades away
A7
We had to steal him from his fate
A7
So he could see another day"
A C#m
Then I cracked open my box
A7
Someone must have picked the lock
A7
A little light revealed the spot
A
Where my fingernails had fought
C#m
Then I pushed it open more,
A7
Pushing up against the door
A7
Then I sat up off the floor
A7
And found the breath I was searching for
A C#m
Then there were three men up front
A7
All I saw were backs of heads
A
And then I asked "am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?"
C#m
And then one turned around to say,
A7
"We're driving toward the morning sun
A7
Where all your blood is washed away
A7
And all you did will be undone. "
[Outro]
A C#m A7
A C#m A7
I said, "Don't be afraid."
A C#m A7
I said, "Don't be afraid."
