note: you can play the clean chords as well if you are new to guitar or playing on an acoustic (recommended for nylon string/Spanish guitarists).Also you can play more than 8 chords by doubling or quadrupling etc. the amount of strums, though this is not how AFI play it (the beat?s 4/4 so use multiples or factors of 4, I use 8).

words were as mystical as purring animals
The circle of rage
The ghosts on the stage appeared
The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go
Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below
No one could see me

I fell into yesterday
Our dreams seemed not far away
I want to, I want to, I want to stay
I fell into fantasy

(spoken)

The girl on the wall always waited for me,
And she was always smiling
The teenage death boys
The teenage death girls
And everyone was dancing
Nothing could touch us then
No one could change us then
Everyone was dancing
Nothing could hurt us then
No one could see us then
Everyone was dancing
Everyone was dancing

While the first guitar plays that, a second plays this, distorted.
