Intro E B F# G#m
verse 1
E B F# G#m
Afterlife, oh my God, what an awful word
E B F# G#m
After all the breath and the dirt and the fires are burnt
E B F# G#m
And after all this time, and after all the ambulances go
E B F#
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light
G#m
Of the afterglow
G#m
I've gotta know�
Chorus
F# E
Can we work it out?
G#m B F#
If we scream and shout 'till we work it out
E
Can we just work it out?
G#m B
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?
E G#m
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out
F# E
'Till we work it out, 'till we work it out
verse 2 Same Chords
Afterlife, I think I saw what happens next
Oh it was just a glimpse of you, like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?
And after all this time
It's like nothing else we used to know
And after all the hangers-on are done hanging on to the dead light
Of the afterglow
I've gotta know�
Chorus
F# E
Can we work it out?
G#m B
Let's scream and shout 'till we work it out
F# E
Can we just work it out?
G#m B
Scream and shout 'till we work it out?

Can it last another night?
After all the bad advice
Had nothing at all to do with life
