Tom: Em
G
The windshield explodes
Bm
Like a bomb packed with diamonds
C
There's a deafening silence
D
Time flows to a crawl
G
As the ballet of the impact
Bm
Spreads out across the blacktop
Em C
Angels dancing down like raindrops
D
In the air as they fall
Em
So this is how it goes
B7
So this is how it ends
G
A flatbed runs a red light
A
No time to comprehend
Am
As a blizzard of my memories
G
Lights up like fireflies
Em C
In the sliver of an instant
A Asus2 Bm
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
