The Ballet Of The Impact The Beauty Of It All

       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
