The Ballet Of The Impact The Beauty Of It All

The win[G]dshield explodes
Like a bomb[Bm] packed with diamonds
There's a deafenin[C]g silence
[D]Time flows to a crawl

As the ballet[G] of the impact
Spreads out acro[Bm]ss the blacktop
Angels dancin[Em]g down like raindrops          [C]
In the air [D]as they fall

So thi[Em]s is how it goes
So thi[B7]s is how it ends
A fl[G]atbed runs a red light
No tim[A]e to comprehend

As a bli[Am]zzard of my memories
Lights up li[G]ke fireflies
In the slive[Em]r of an instant [C]
In a fla[A]sh before my [Asus2]eyes...  [Bm]

---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
