Intro:Dm A# Gm D# Dm A# Gm A# A (twice)

[Verse 1]
       Dm                                           F5 G5 G#5
  Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen,
  Dm                                        F5     G5   G#5
  So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
  Dm                                                F5 G5 G#5
  Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste,
  Dm                                                         F5  G5 G#5 G5 F5
  Of your afterlife here - so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.

Dm                  C
  I see a distant light,
Dm                        C     A/C#
  But girl this can't be right...
Dm                         C
  Such a surreal place to see,
                   A#
  So how did this come to be?
     C         A/C#
  Arrived too early

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm          F                 A#             C           E5
  And when I think of all the places I just don't belong,
Dm               F                  A#              C
  I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.

[Chorus]
F            C/E                      Dm
  I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
      A#             F
  Escape from this afterlife
              C/E                    Dm
 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on
   A#             A/C#
  Far away from here!

[Verse 2]
  Dm                                               F5  G5 
  Place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain,
   G#5 Dm                                             F5    G5    G#5
  Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you.
  Dm                                               F5  G5 G#5
  Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste,
  Dm                                                          F5   G5 G#5 G5 F5
  Of your afterlife here - so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.
Dm                               C
  This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
Dm                     C
  No pain or sign of time... (I'm much too young to fall)
Dm                               C
  So out of place, don't wanna stay,
                    A#      
  I feel wrong and that's my sign,
        C      A/C#
  I've made up my mind!

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm           F                  A#            C       E5
  Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye,
Dm           F                 A#              C
  Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.

[Chorus]
F            C/E                     Dm
  I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear,
      A#             F
  Escape from this afterlife.
              C/E                    Dm
 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on,
  A#
  Far away from here!
F               C/E                       Dm
  Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you,
          A#         F
  This place full of peace and light.
            C/E                    Dm
  And I'd hope you might, take me back inside,
  A#                   E5 Dm A# Gm D# Dm A# Gm D#
  When the time is right!
Dm                A#                              Gm               A# A/C#
  Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
Dm               A#                        Gm                 A# A/C#
  I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Dm            A#               Gm                A#   A/C#
  Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
  (I am      unbroken;          I'm choking on this ecstasy! )
Dm             A#                  Gm                 A#      A/C#
  Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
 (Unbreak me, unchain me,          I need a-----------nother chance to live! )
Dm        A#  Gm D# Dm A# Gm A# A/C# Dm A# Gm A# A/C# Dm A# Gm A# A/C# Dm F5 C E5 Dm F5 C E5 
  Aah!
Dm F5 C E5 Dm F5 C E5 F5 Gm Am A# C/G

F           C/E                     Dm
  I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear
     A#              F
  Escape from this afterlife
             C/E                     Dm 
 'Cause this time I'm right, to move on and on
  A#
  Far away from here!

  Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
        A#            F 
  This place full of peace and light
          C/E                     Dm
  And I'd hope you might, take me back inside
  A#                  E5  Dm
  When the time is right!
