E5                             G5   E5                         G5
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen
E5                        G5     E5              A5      G5       E5
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
E5                      G5     E5                            G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5                                G5    E5                                    G5  B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway
E5         G5       A5    E5            G5           A5
I see a distant light, but girl this can’t be right
E5          G5                A5             B5       A5      G5
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
A5               B5
Arrived too early
E5                                   G5                       B5
And when I think of all the places I just don’t belong
E5                                           G5                      B5   G5
I’ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

G5                 D5                               E5    C5                         G5
I don’t belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
D5               E5            C5                 B5
‘Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here
E5                                 G5   E5                        G5
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
E5                                     G5   E5               A5       G5        E5
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
E5                      G5    E5                           G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5                                 G5   E5                                   G5  B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway
E5              G5                A5
This peace on earth’s not right (with my back against the wall)
E5             G5        A5
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
E5             G5                     A5             B5          A5            G5
So out of place don’t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that’s my sign
A5                      B5
I’ve made up my mind
E5                                 G5                                B5
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
E5                                        G5                        B5    G5
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

G5                         D5                           E5
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
C5                                      G5                             D5
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
E5             C5                      B5
take me back inside when the time is right
E5 G5 E5 A5 E5 B5 E5 C5 2X E5
E5                       C5                           A5                           E5
Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they’re already missing me
C5                                    A5             E5
I pray by the grace of God that there’s somebody listening
E5              C5                       A5               E5
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(Who are you?; I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
E5              C5                          A5                E5
Oh Lord I’ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
