Intro-
Am                                      F
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
                                    C
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
                              G
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
      Am                 F
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
C                               G                         Am
Flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

       Am                         F
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
                   C
And I realize that empty words are not enough
     G
I'm left here with this question of just
Am                             F
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
  C                             G
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets


Chorus-
   F                              Am   Cmaj9/G

Verse-
Am (single stroke))                         F (single stroke)
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
C (single stroke)                         G
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that
           Am                                     F
there's A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
C                                     G
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and


Chorus-
   F                              Am   Cmaj9/G
I hope that I will never let you down
   F                                   Am       
   F
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sounds


Interlude- Play F for 1 measure.


Am
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
                    F
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Am
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
                  G      F            G
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
                              G
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Am                                   F
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
        C                             G
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
