capo on 4th fret


G           D             C                G 
I wasn't looking to shift my direction 
A7                                          C
My eyes straight ahead hands ten
D
and two 

G           D     C                 G
The gravity of our first connection 
A7                              
Veering off the road
            C   D
and into you 

Em                  D                    C                   G
All the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene 
Em7                     D              C                D
Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline 


Em           C
All the way I                    
 G                             D                          
met you head on full speed 
C           G                      D
At the heart the blue flame burns 

All
the way I took the crash course impact 

But have I learned all that I'm
supposed to learn 



No amount of  playing safe could save me from
this day 

The head seeking path of my trajectory 

Didn't we cooly
divest of predestination 

Slamming into futures we can't see 

I
know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye 

But there's no
way to avoid it just get in the car and drive 



All the way I met
you head on full speed 

At  the heart the blue flame burns 

All the
way  I took crash course impact 

But have I learned all that I'm supposed
to learn 



It  makes me laugh, we?re talking over  tea 

When
I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve 

Steaming like gun smoke the
wreckage of our past 

The scene of a crime I still can't leave 

Oh
you and me, we should let well enough be 

But each revisitation points to
clues 

There's the oil slick of uncertainty 

And warning signs back
there we didn't use 

At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive


It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive
