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

Dm               C     Dm                      
I see a distant light, but girl 
C
this can't be right
Dm                      C                   
Such a surreal place to see so how 
Bb
did this come to be
   A
Arrived too early

[Pre-chorus 1]
Dm         F                 Bb
And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
Dm            F               Bb        
I've come to grips with life and 
C                          F
realize this is going too far

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

[Verse 2]
Dm                                          
A place of hope and no pain,
F
perfect skies with no rain
Dm                                               
Can leave this place but refrain,
 F
’cause we've been waiting for you
Dm                                              
Fallen into this place, just giving 
F
you a small taste
Dm                                                       
Of your afterlife here so stay, 
F
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, I 
Bb
feel wrong and that's my sign
     A
I've made up my mind

[Pre-chorus 2]
Dm           F                Bb
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Dm           F              Bb              
Please understand I have to leave
C
and carry on my own life

[Chorus]
F          C                       
I don't belong here, I gotta move 
Dm
on dear
    Bb              F
escape from this afterlife
             C                     
’Cause this time I'm right to move 
Dm
on and on,
Bb
far away from here
F              C                         
Got nothing against you and surely 
Dm
I'll miss you
      Bb             F                       
This place full of peace and light, 
        C
and I’d hope you might
        Dm          Bb                    
Take me back inside when the time 
    Dm
is right

[Bridge]
Dm              Bb
Loved ones back home all crying 
               Gm              Bb A7
'cause they're already missing me
Dm             Bb
I pray by the grace of God 
             Gm             Bb A7
that there's somebody listening
Dm        Bb
Give me a chance to be 
     Gm                Bb    A7
that person I wanna be (I am unbroken, 
I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Dm         Bb    
Oh, Lord, I'll try so hard, 
        Gm                Bb A7
but you gotta let go of me
   A7                Dm
...Another chance to live

I don't belong here, I gotta move 
Dm
on dear
    Bb             F
escape from this afterlife
             C                     
’Cause this time I'm right to move 
Dm
on and on,

far away from here
F              C

and I’d hope you might
        Dm          Bb                    
Take me back inside when the time 
    Dm
is right.
