[Verse 1]
D D
Oh the dead don't die anymore than you or I
A
They're just ghosts inside a dream
G D
Of a life that we don't own
D
They walk around sometimes
D
Never payin' any mind
A
to the silly lives we lead
G D
Or the reapin' we've all sown
G D
There's a cup of coffee waiting on every corner
A G D
Someday we're gonna wake up and find a cornerstone
[Chorus]
D
But the dead will still be walking around
G
this whole world alone
D A G D
Well, after life is over, the afterlife goes on.......
[Verse 2]
D
There'll be old friends walking 'round
D
in a somewhat familiar town
A G D
That you saw once when you looked up from your phone
D D
Nobody by the same heights, you can save all your goodbyes
A G D
Stop trying to pretend that we're all not alone
G D
And the streets look so empty in the morning
A
There'll be no one out at night
G D
for the lights to shine down on
[Chorus]
D
But the dead will still be walking around
G
this whole world alone
D A D
Well, after life is over, the afterlife goes on
A D
Hearts break when loved ones journey on
A D
At the thought that they're now forever gone
D
So we tell ourselves they're all still
G
around us all the time
D A D
Gone but not forgotten, just memories left behind
[Instrumental]
G D A G D
......................
D
But the dead will still be walking around
G
and this whole world alone
D A D
After life is over, the afterlife goes on
D A G D
After life is over, the afterlife goes on......
