D#m                         E B
What do you say to the dead?
Will you forgive me for living?
Can't believe the things that they said
D#m                                E  B   D#
Wonderful day for a killing, it's killing me

What do they do with your soul?
Is it just lying there busted?
When did you lose all control?
Is there someone to be trusted with my mind?

D#m
Oh there's insufficient evidence
Of what just might come after
But sometimes out of nowhere
There's demented sounds of laughter

Gm                          G#
Are we all haunted by the ghost, imagination
     Cm
It just can't be
                       G#             A#
I've seen them there, howling at the moon
Gm                         G#
Is it just me or does somebody else believe this?
         Cm
Well I'm not alone and I'm not afraid
         A#
There's just one way to see

Chorus:
      D#m B       D#m A
After all, after all
After all, after all

What do you say to the dead?
Is there a place where it's burning?
It says in a book I once read
Yes, there's a chance of returning turn to me

The fundamental principles
Say nothing of forever
But those are voices that I hear or
I'm just not so clever
It can't be me
I know somebody else believes this
Well I'm not alone,
I'm not afraid, just one way to see

Chorus:
After all, after all
Coming after all
After all, after all
After all, after all...
