[Em]Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light

[C]the diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams

[G]your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die

[Am]the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again.

[Em]Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control

[C]they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood

[G]the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees through heavy air a demon shrieks,
[G]what have I done, what hell is waiting
for me?

[Am]I crashed be[F]fore the birth of [C]Christ

Ptero[G]dactyls swarming

[Am]You died in 1[F]989

[C]Just wanna get back [G]to that morning in May

[F]Keep you in [Am]bed, never es[G]cape

Holding you [C]close, oh oh oh-oh-oh

[F]Listen to you [Am]breathe the evening [G]glow

of fading [G]light and cooling spa[Em]ce.

VERSE 2   same chord progression

[Em]     [C]     [G]     [Am]

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 [Em]carve your sweet [C]name into the [G]cave, I'm sure to [C]die

All my [Em]strife has been in [C]vain, the glaciers [G]come and wash my words

[C]away.
