Don't be so hard with criticism please, was just my second submitted chord ;)
The similar accoustic version "Live at the Apple Store" on "If we could only see
us now" is played with Capo on the 1st fret - but you also can play it without.
[Verse]
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 Em
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone
[Bridge:]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
Em (just one strike) C
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
G (just one strike) 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
C
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
[Chorus]
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
