Intro: C#m B
C#m
The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen
B
In this carousel, the silence is so surreal
C#m
I've been misled through empty streets to the
B
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep
Verse 1:
C#m A B
We're blessed with these horrors for highways
C#m A
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders
B F#m E C#m
Have we lost our touch?
Break 1:
C#m
A light goes on
We throw our blankets aside
It's been hours now and we still know nothing
B C#m
The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide
Pre-Chorus:
C#m A
I'd never say that we step to the other side
B
To keep us from brushing shoulders
C#m A B
But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive
A B
I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're
C#m
Turning all the questions to cancers
A B
Someone call in the emergency and we'll
C#m
Peel back the dressings so we can see
A B
The kind of things that the surgeons see
C#m G#m
When the blood work won't give us the answers
A B C#m
They'll never tell us, cause they don't know whats
C#m A B
killing us
Break 2:
C#m
My heart's at a million miles an hour as we
C/G#
Brace for the impact, it makes time stand still
C#m
Forcing momentum into a moment so for a
C/G#
Split second, I see your face
C#m
In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile
C/G#
This is a picture we'll never quite forget
Bridge:
C#m
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C#m
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
E G#m
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C#m
Hold still while they pick at my body
E G#m
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
A
Hold still while they pick at my body
B C#m (G#m)
They'll dance all around me
Build
A B C#m G#m
Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down.
A B
Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home.
