Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 The windshield explodes

 Like a bomb packed with diamonds

 There's a deafening silence

Time flows to a crawl

 As the ballet of the impact

 Spreads out across the blacktop

 Angels dancing down like raindrops

 In the air as they fall

 So this is how it goes

 So this is how it ends

 A flatbed runs a red light

 No time to comprehend

 As a blizzard of my memories

 Lights up like fireflies

 In the sliver of an instant

 In a flash before my eyes...

---change of song, same chords, same melody---

I'm drifting on the water

Far out from the land

Moving throug my memories

As I try to understand

If I wake tomorrow wiser

Or it's time to shed my skin

And let go of a lifetime

That I can't have back again

All the love we leave behind

All the work we leave undone

All the words we leave unspoken

All the things we won't become

But there's little I would change

In the live that I recalled

If I could paint a picture

Of the beauty of it all
