Afterwards

C
Now you’re dead and gone
          F
No loneliness, just on my own
               C
Sometimes you walk into my room
              G
And sit and brood until I fall asleep
         C
Love is tiresome when you’re older
           F
Grief and madness make you colder
                    C                          G
You still won’t let anyone but you hold on to me

Until it’s hard to breathe


[Chorus]
  Dm  G
Brea--athe
 Dm  G
Lea--ave me


[Verse 2]
       C
First tell me how to live
             F                       C
You were the only one I gave all of myself
                             G
I love you more now than I could

I’ve thrown away the flaws
         C                                     F
Death redeems you when you’re underneath the earth
                               C
It makes me wonder about the years that came before
                G
And all those things I feel I must ignore


[Chorus]
  Dm  G
Brea--athe
 Dm  G
Kee--ep me


[Bridge]
   D
Please let me be
       G
How I want to be
D                           G
I see you there looking straight in me
 F
Judging me
 E
Loving me


[Verse 3]
  C
What I feel
 F
What I think
C
What I want to give
G
Oh, how I want to live
C
What I feel
F
What I think
C
What I want to give
G
Oh, how I want to live


[Chorus]
Dm         G
I want to live
Dm             G
I am ready to live
