Switchfoot: Afterlife

Album: Vice Verses

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I've tasted fire I'm ready to come alive

I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

[Verse 2]

Let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin

The way I feel inside, the way the day begins

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the other side cause...

I'm ready now

[Chorus]

Everyday

The world is made

A chance to change

But I feel the same

And I wonder why

would I wait till I die

to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

[Verse 3]

I still believe we can live forever

You and I we begin forever now

Forever now

I still believe in us together

You and I we're here together now

Forever now

Or never now

[Chorus]

Everyday

The world is made

A chance to change

But I feel the same

And I wonder why

would I wait till I die

to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

[Bridge] (Palm muted)

Everyday

A choice is made

Everyday

I choose my fate

And I wonder why

Would I wait till I die

to come alive?

to come alive

[Chorus 2]

Everyday

I still feel the same

And I wonder why

would I wait till I die

to come alive?

I'm ready now

I'm not waiting for the afterlife

[Outro]

F G

I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I’m ready

F G

I’m ready now I'm not waiting for the afterlife
