Bm
Afterlife
E                  F#      F#/E
Oh what a terrible thought
            Bm            E          F#  F#/E
'Cause I've lived without you once before

We don't, we don't have to do this again
Please don't, please don't make me start this again
No my love
Your beauty will consume me in the end

Chorus:
G      A#        Bm  D
It was only ever you
G      A          D
It was only ever you
G A   Bm D
  My baby
    G
It feels like a lifetime
   F#
Oh god I don't think I could do two

Afterlife
You can tell your god he can keep his salvation
And if you like, the angels can fly into the sun
We don't, we don't have to do this again
Please don't, please don't make me start this again,
yeah

Chorus

Bm             A#
My soul is tortured
A#
With love and lust and hate
Gm                     D
My cracked lips are unkissed
For a million days
Bm
My infected heart
A#
It's bleeding in its cage
Gm
I'm losing my dignity
D
But not got long left to wait

Chorus
