C [Verse] C Am Brother do you believe in an afterlife Em Our souls'll both collide F C In some great Elysium, way up in the sky Am Free from our shackles, our chains, our mouths, our brains Em We'll open all the gates F C We will walk careless, straight into the light | Am | C | Am | C Am I've never felt so enlightened Em Every page I turn F C I only find myself feeling more alone Am Posing questions to a silent universe Em My very thoughts are cursed F They just seem to multiply, forever in my mind Dm G Brother don't grow up Dm F Brother please never grow up [Interlude] | C | Am | G | G | x4 [Verse] Em F C Just hold out against the night Em F C and guard your hope with your life Dm G For the darkness, she will come Dm F Oh and you have nowhere left to run C Am G G Oh but your eyes are wider than mine, and help me to sleep C Am G G Just hope that age does not erase all that you've seen C Am G G Don't let bitterness become you C Am G G Your only hopes are within you [Outro] | C | Am | G | G | x2 Em F C Just hold out against the night Em F and guard your hope with your life
