[Start]

[Verse]
           Fm                               
Late night brakes lock hear the tires squeal
    Fm                                  
Red light can't stop so I spin the wheel
         Fm                 
My world goes black before I
        Fm              
Feel an angel lift me up
Fm                       
And I open bloodshot eyes
     Fm               
Into fluorescent white
              Ab                  
They flip the siren hit the lights
Eb                           
Close the doors and I am gone
Fm Db Ab Bbsus4 Ab Eb
■  ■  ■  ■      ■  ■ 
               Fm           
Now I lay here owing my life
Db                         
To a stranger and I realize
                 Bbm           
That empty words are not enough
Eb                                 Fm  
I'm left here with the question of just
            Ab7           
What have I to show except
Db7                      
The promises I never kept
Ab7        Bb7                
I lie here shaking on this bed
Eb                            
Under the weight of my regrets


[Chorus]
  Eb7  Db7                       Eb   C7
I hope that I will never let you down ■ 
C Db                                  
I know that this can be more than just

Flashing lights and sounds
Fm Db Ab Eb
■  ■  ■  ■ 
                                   Eb   
Look around and you'll see that at times
Db                               
It feels like no one really cares
Ab                                      Eb7
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to 
Eb                                  Fm
Do what's right I know that there's a 
Fm                                
Difference between sleight of hand
Db                            
And giving everything you have
Ab                              
There's a line drawn in the sand
Eb                                 
I'm working up the will to cross it
      Db7  Db                    Fm  Eb  
And I hope that I will never let you down
Db                                Fm  
I know that this can be more than just
                Db        
Flashing lights and sounds

■  Rhetoric can't raise the dead I'm sick of always talking
                       F7
When there's no change ■ 
               Fm                 F7      Eb         
Rhetoric can't raise the dead I'm sick of empty words
           Fm            
Let's lead and not follow
Fm                                          
Late night brakes lock hear the tires squeal
                                   Fm   
Red light can't stop so I spin the wheel
   Fm                       
My world goes black before I
Eb                             
Feel an angel steal me from the


[Chorus]
Fm                             
Greedy jaws of death and chance
    Db                          
And pull me in with steady hands
        Ab                      
They've given me a second chance
Eb

I know that this can be more than just
Fm       Eb         Db    
Flashing lights and sounds
       Fm       Eb      Db    
Can we pick you off the ground
          Fm       Eb         Db     Dbmaj7 Db
More than flashing lights and sounds ■      ■
