A
Feel the speed through the intersection
D
Sheets of rain I seek out cars
G
Hands in gloves grip handlebars
D
Ride alone to the pub in the dark
A
I get a little wet but I don't have to park
            D                                                G
And the lights start flashing green and red as I ride

A car turns left and I slide
D
i can't turn back
G            D
i make contact
G                        D
Blinkers smash into mosaic
      Em
Then I start flying

G            D                       A
Always think we get more time
Em                  G
Now flying through the air
           D               A
Maybe living maybe dying
Em            G             D                              A
In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind
Em                       G          D       A
Don't we always wish had more time

A
I'm thrust slow mo through time and space
D
Details smash, protect my face
                    G
And then I see yours
                                                D    G    D
And go to a time when we just knew
A
Mister death in the car below
                  D
Doesn't even slow

And away he goes
                 G
In the majesty of a motor crash
      D                  G           D
You skid into my darkness
G                                          D
Sex and death, heartbreak and strife
                  Em
Well they give no warning

G            D                       A
Always think we get more time
Em                  G
Now flying through the air
           D               A
Maybe living maybe dying
Em            G             D                              A
In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind
Em             Em                              D                  A
In the red lights and cathedrals there a sign        
Em                                 D                          A
Don't we always wish we had more time                  
            G
Here it comes
D    A
my hit and run

G            D                       A
Always think we get more time
Em                  G
Then you're flying through the air
           D               A
With someone on your mind
Em            G                      D                              A
In the shattered glass reflections there's a sign
                      G                      D                   A
Cause you were there and I wish we had more time


A
I Come down hard and roll to my feet
D
And rain washes blood now off concrete
G                                                   D  G  D
People turn away and I just had to laugh
G                        D A Em A E G
Cause I'm still flying
G                  D A Em A E G
Living and dying


G            D                       A
Always think we get more time

Em                  G
You're flying through the air

           D                   A
with someone on your mind

Em            G             D                  A
In this motorcycle crashing is a sign
                                        G                              D       A
Cause you were there and I wish we had more time      
                     G
You were there

G                                                                     D
And I'd like to thank mister death for what he's done
                A                                                Em
Cause I got to walk away from my hit and run
G                           D                             A          Em
Mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed     
            G  D      A
Cause I saw you
Em                     G
At my hit and run
D                       A
At my hit and run
