[Ab]Like

[Verse 1]
[Ddim]walking into [Dm]a dre[Ddim]am,
so [Dm]unlike what you've [F]seen[G][Ab]
[Ddim]So unsure but it s[Dm]eems[Ddim]
[Dm]'Cause we've been [F]wait[G]ing for [Ab]you
[Ddim]Fallen into [Dm]this p[Ddim]lace
Just giv[Dm]ing you a small [F]taste[G][Ab]
[Ddim]Of your afterlife [Dm]here so stay[Ddim]

[Ab][G][F]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]I see a distant ligh[C]t
[Dm]But girl this can't be right[C]
[Dm]Such a surreal place to see[C]
So how did this [Bb]come to be
Ar[C]rived too [A]early
[Dm]And when I think[F] of
all the [Bb]places I just [C]don't belong
[Dm]I've come to grips[F] with life
and [Bb]realize this is [C]going too far

[Chorus 1]
[F]I don't belon[C]g here,
we gotta move [Dm]on, dear
Es[Bb]cape from this [F]afterlife
'Cause this [C]time I'm right to move [Dm]on and on
[Bb]Far away from [Bb]here

[Verse 2]
[Ddim]Place of hope and no[Dm] pai[Ddim]n
Per[Dm]fect skies with no [F]rain[G]
[Ab]Can [Ddim]leave this place but re[Dm]frain[Ddim]
[Dm]'Cause we've been [F]wait[G]ing for [Ab]you
[Ddim]Fallen into [Dm]this p[Ddim]lace
Just giv[Dm]ing you a small [F]taste[G][Ab]

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]This peace on Earth's not right
[C](Up with my back against the wall)
[Dm]No pain or sign of time
[C](I'm much too young to fall)
[Dm]So out of place don't wanna stay[C]
I feel wrong and [Bb]that's my sign
I've [C]made up [A]my mind
[Dm]Give me your hand [F]but realize
[Bb]I just wanna say[C] goodbye
[Dm]Please understan[F]d
I have to [Bb]leave and carry [C]on my own life

[Chorus 2]
[F]I don't belon[C]g here,
we gotta move [Dm]on, dear
Es[Bb]cape from this [F]afterlife
'Cause this [C]time I'm right to move [Dm]on and on
[Bb]Far away from [F]here
Got nothing a[C]gainst you
and surely I'll [Dm]miss you
This [Bb]place full of [F]peace and light
And I'd [C]hope you might
take me [Dm]back inside
[Bb]When the time is [Bb]right

'cause they're [Gm]already missing [Bb]me[A]
[Dm]I pray by the grac[Bb]e of God
that there's [Gm]somebody [Bb]listening[A]
[Dm]Give me a chan[Bb]ce to be
that [Gm]person I wanna be
[Bb](...on this this [A]ecstasy)
[Dm]Oh Lord, I'll try [Bb]so hard
