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
