Capo 1 (or transpose a half-step up)

       G5
The windshield explodes
           B5
Like a bomb packed with diamonds
                  C5
There's a deafening silence
D5
Time flows to a crawl

             G5
As the ballet of the impact
                B5
Spreads out across the blacktop
             E5                             C5
Angels dancing down like raindrops
           D5
In the air as they fall

      E5
So this is how it goes
      B5
So this is how it ends
    G5
A flatbed runs a red light
      A5
No time to comprehend

        A5
As a blizzard of my memories
            G5
Lights up like fireflies
            E5              C5
In the sliver of an instant
        A5            A5    B5
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
