F#m      D                 A
I wanna fall inside your ghost
     E            F#m      D      A  E
And fill up every hole inside my mind
F#m        D             A
And I want everyone to know
     E           F#m     D   A E
That I am half a soul divided

Chorus:
Bm
Sometimes we will die
             E
And sometimes we will fly away
Bm
Either way, you're by my side
 F#m            E
Until my dying days
    Bm                             E
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
         A     E    F#m
I said, don't be afraid
         A     E    F#m
I said, don't be afraid
             D
We're going home

I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless piece of death I've made for you
A mortal rotting piece of song
Will help me carry on, but at least you heard

Chorus

 A
So the hearse ran out of gas,
   E
a passenger person grabbed a map
        F#m
And the driver inside it contrived
a new route to save the past
      A
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab,
    E
a beautifully plain taxi cab
  F#m
A cab, had it cleared out back
and two men started to unpack
Driving once again, but now this time,
there were three men
And then I heard one of them say
"I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade
when all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate
so he could see another day."
And then I cracked open my box,
someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot
where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more,
pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor,
and found the breath I was searching for
Then there were three men up front,
all I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked "Am I alive and well,
or am I dreaming dead?"
Then one turned around to say
"We're driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away
and all you did will be undone."

         A     E   F#m
I said, don't be afraid
         A     E   F#m
I said, don't be afraid
