Em C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
D
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
Em C
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
G D
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and
Em
I am gooone
( C G D )
Em C
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
G
And I realize that empty words are not enough
D
I'm left here with the question of just
Em C
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
G D
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
C Em D
I hope that I will never let you down
C Em D C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
( Em C G D )
Em C
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
G D
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that
Em C
There's A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
G D
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and
C Em D
I hope that I will never let you down
C Em D C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
D C D
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
D C D
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
Em C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
D
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Em C
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
G D
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
C Em D
I hope that I will never let you down
C Em D C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Em D C Em D C
Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
