Verse:
EBGbAbm Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word
EBGbAbm After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt
EBGbAbm And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
EBGb And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light
Abm Of the afterglow
Abm I've gotta know…
Chorus:
GbE Can we work it out?
AbmBGb If we scream and shout 'till we work it out
E Can we just work it out?

GbE 'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out
Verse -same chords as first-:
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next
Oh it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It's like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow
I've gotta know…

Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
Had nothing at all to do with life
I've gotta know
