[Verse 1]
G                 C
You're headed for heaven,
Em                D
The sweet old hereafter,
G            C               D      D
And I've got one foot in the door.
G                 C
But before I can fly up,
Em                 D
I've loose ends to tie up,
Em                D         G        G
Right here in The old therebefore.
 
[Chorus 1]
G        C
I'll be along
          Em          D
When I've finished my song,
          G             C
When I've shut down the band,
          Em             D
When I've played out my hand,
          G           C
When I've paid all my debts,
       Em       D
When I have no regrets,
D
Right here in
     G       C
The old therebefore,
     Em
When nothing
          D      D
Is left anymore.
 
[Chorus 2]
G          C
I'll catch you up
          Em         D
When I've emptied my cup,
         G             C
When I've worn out my friends,
          Em         D
When I've burned out both ends,
          G             C
When I've cried all my tears,
          Em            D
When I've conquered my fears,
    D
Right here in
     G        C
The old therebefore,
     Em
When nothing
         D
Is left anymore.
 
[Verse 2]
G           C
I'll bring the news
          Em             D
When I've danced off my shoes,
        G             C
When my body's closed down,
        Em          D
When my boat's run aground,
           G          C
When I've tallied the score,
        Em           D
And I'm flat on the floor,
      D
Right here in
     G        C
The old therebefore,
      Em
When nothing
           C      C
Is left anymore
 
 
[Verse 3]
         G           C
When I'm pure like a dove,
           Em             D
When I've learned how to love,
      D
Right here in
     G        C
The old therebefore,
      Em
When nothing
        D*
Is left anymore.
