Bright Flashes

(início)

D - Bm - D - Bm
There were bright flashes the day you were born
D - Bm - Em - A
And your mother's hair was brown.
D - Bm - D - Bm
All of the doctors pronounced you a dead man
D - Bm - Em - A
And they told her what to prepare for.
D - Bm - D - Bm
Somewhere far from you at the center of earth
D - Bm - Em - A
The science that made you awoke.
D - Bm -D - Bm - D - Bm - A
And it said oooo.
D - Bm - D - Bm
The gods in the sky draped in cloth made of clover
D - Bm - Em - A
Amused by the cliffs of your plights
D - Bm - D - Bm
Sent down a goddess with hair black as night.
D - Bm - Em - A
She gave you a piece of her power.
D - Bm - D - Bm
And once you were young and gasping for air
D - Bm - Em - A
And now you are strong as a mountain.
G - A - D - F# - G - A - D
And all things considered it's quite coincidence I am still here and so are you.
D - Bm - D - Bm
The floor of the Earth may decide to upturn us,
D - Bm - A
The skies might be ready to strike.
D - Bm - D - Bm
And you might decide, overwhelmed with surprise
D - Bm - A
That there might be something on earth worth saving.
D - Bm -D - Bm - D - Bm - A
Let it be me.
D - Bm - D - Bm
Oxygen sometimes can lead you off course
D - Bm - Em - E
and breathing is something to die for,
G - A - D - F# - G - A - D
but all things considered it's quite coincidence I am still here and so are you.
