VERSE 1
MIm
Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light
DO
the diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams
SOL
your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die
LAm
the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again.
MIm
Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control
DO
they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood
SOL
the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees through heavy air a demon shrieks,
SOL
what have I done, what hell is waiting
for me?
CHORUS
LAm FA DO
I crashed before the birth of Christ
SOL
Pterodactyls swarming
LAm FA
You died in 1989
DO SOL
Just wanna get back to that morning in May
FA LAm SOL
Keep you in bed, never escape
DO
Holding you close, oh oh oh-oh-oh
FA LAm SOL
Listen to you breathe the evening glow
SOL MIm
of fading light and cooling space.
POST CHORUS 1

VERSE 2 same chord progression
MIm DO SOL LAm
Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone
the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere
like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep
like petals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep.
And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide
that massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing
just outside
I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life
fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what Time has done!

I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die

All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come and wash my words
