The Eternal Wayfarer

Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
Back in the day I never had to choose my way
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 F
without a clue
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
No need for a hand
                            Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Eb
Unaware that I was dancing on the edge but wasn't due
Fsus4 F Fsus4 F        Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
Oh,         serene's the sea behind me, into the whirl of devil time

[Interlude]
Gm Bb C Gm F C
Gm Bb C D F

[Verse 1]
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
A gentle rocking, then a crack in the cradle
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 F
You're asleep until you hit the ground
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
One for this road and another for after?
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Eb
Someone tell me: what's yer 'after' all about?

[Pre-Chorus]
D
From ease to the sky, until the world gets in the way

[Chorus 1]
Am            C                   G
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
             D
Chasing the afterglow
Am               C                 G
The outcome is set, as far as I know
Am          Em                  D
Time and again the sundown it screams my name
                      Gm  Bb C
Buy I try to turn away

[Interlude]

Gm Bb C D F

[Verse 2]
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
The gorge of the instant devours the future
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 F
To spit it out as a fading memory
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Gm
Gimme the strength to defy contradiction
Gm Gsus2 Gm Gsus2 Eb
When my mindset fails to let me see

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Will I travel on and longing pave the road?

[Chorus 2]
Am            C                   G
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
             D
Chasing the afterglow
Am               C                   G
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Am          C                 Em
Is it the end or maybe the outset
            D                                Am
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
            Em                     D
Time and again it's screaming my name

[Bridge 1]
D
So you don't wanna see
D
You realize that your senses have come to the edge
D
And you don't trust a single one
Bm                    G         A
Don't wanna turn your inside towards the sky
Bm       G                A6           A
Are we afraid to catch a glimpse of truth tonight?

D
Could the heavens reveal what's inside the afterglow?
D
Is this light just based on perception now?
Bm                    G             A
Or do I refuse to perceive what is hard to ignore?
Bm         G                     A6   A
From ease through fire into the afterglow...

D
And you don't wanna see (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
D
See that your eyes have come (Trying to make out that day)
D
To a point where you don't see why and where you run (That I had to give my inherent spiritual 
juvenility
away and again)
Bm                G          A
Will you turn your inside towards the sky (Why is it made so difficult for us to read the signs 
that we)
Bm                G                 A6         A
You're scared to death by what your heart may see tonight (Have to read in order just to 
understand read so
we can comprehend a trace of eternity)

D
Pictures of void burn in the afterglow (I look up in search of forever and wonder)
D
Purification or just a perception now? (Trying to make out that day)
Bm                  G             A
Will you refuse to feel what you can't ignore (That I had to give my inherent spiritual 
juvenility away
and again)
Bm           G              A6     A
From ease through fire into afterglow (Have to read in order just to understand read so we can 
comprehend
a trace of eternity)

[Bride 2]
Am         G                F
I try to look as far as the eye can see
Dm             Em             F
Past and beyond the dark painted wall, oh

[Chorus]
C            Am                   G
Ring in the age: countdown to zero
             D
Chasing the afterglow
Am               C                   G
The outcome is set, as far as they know
Am          C                 Em
Is it the end or maybe the outset
            D                                Am
Or just a stage of a whole that I can't survey
            Em                     D
Time and again it's screaming my name
