After Dark

B E

[Verse 1]
B
Dear friend, it will be alright
E                     B
Please just stay right by my side
G#m                          F#                     B
You might think the world is tumbling down but it's not
B
Sometimes it's hard to see through life
       E           B
Through all of the pain and all the strife
G#m                          F#                     B
You might think the world is tumbling down but it's not

[Chorus 1]
                 E          B
Because there is life after sadness
         G#m        F#
There is hope after madness
         E         B        G#m
There is joy after a broken heart
            F#              E   B G#m F#
And there's light after the dark, dark
                    E   B G#m F
There's light after dark, dark
                    B
There's light after dark

[Verse 2]
B
I know life looks so dim right now
E                          B
Like everything up high is crashing down
G#m                      F#                           B
You might feel alone but trust me that's far from the truth
B
Because there is One who will not leave
E                             B
No matter what you've done or what you've seen
G#m                      F#                           B
You might feel alone but trust me that's far from the truth

[Chorus 1]
                 E          B
Because there is life after sadness
         G#m        F#
There is hope after madness
         E         B        G#m
There is joy after a broken heart
            F#              E   B G#m F#
And there's light after the dark, dark
                    E   B G#m F#
There's light after dark, dark

[Bridge]
       E               B
Oh the Lord will never leave you
B     G#m         F#
No-o, He will not forsake you
      E                 B       G#m F#
He is with you 'til the end of time
       E               B
Oh the Lord will never leave you
B     G#m         F#
No-o, He will not forsake you
      E                 B       G#m F#
He is with you 'til the end of time

[Chorus 2]
F#               E          B
Because there is life after sadness
         G#m        F#
There is hope after madness
         E         B        G#m  F#
There is joy after a broken heart
         E          B
There is life after sadness
         G#m        F#
There is hope after madness
         E           B      G#m
There is joy after a broken heart
            F#              E   B G#m F#
And there's light after the dark, dark
                    E   B G#m F#
There's light after dark, dark
                    B
There's light after dark
