VERSE 1
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?
CHORUS
Am F C
I crashed before the birth of Christ
G
Pterodactyls swarming
Am F
You died in 1989
C G
Just wanna get back to that morning in May
F Am G
Keep you in bed, never escape
C
Holding you close, oh oh oh-oh-oh
F Am G
Listen to you breathe the evening glow
G Em
of fading light and cooling space.
POST CHORUS 1
C Em C
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 carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die
Em C G
All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come and wash my words
C
away.
