The Artist In The Ambulance Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Late night, brakes lock,
hear the tires [C]squeal
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel
[G]My world goes black before I
[D]Feel an angel lift me up

[Verse 2]
And I [Em]open bloodshot eyes
[C]Into fluorescent white
[G]They flip the siren, hit the lights
[D]Close the doors,
and I am [Em]gone

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Now I [Em]lay here owing my life
To a [C]stranger, and I realize
That [G]empty words are not [D]enough

[Verse 4]
I'm left here with the question of just
[Em]What have I to show except
[C]The promises I never kept?
I [G]lie here shaking [Am]on this b[G]ed
Un[D]der the weight of my regrets

[Verse 5]
I [C]hope, that I will never let you [Em]down[D][B]
I [C]know, that this can be more than just
[Em]Flashing [D]lights and [C]sounds
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D]
[Em]
Look around [C]and you'll see

[Verse 6]
that at times
It feels like no one really cares
[G]It gets me [D]down, but I'm[C] still gon[D]na try to
Do what's right,

[Verse 7]
I know that there's a
[Em]Difference between sleight of [G]hand
[Em]And givi[C]ng everything you have
[G]There's a line drawn in the sand
[D]I'm working up the will to cross it

[Verse 8]
And I [C]hope,
that I will never let you [Em]down[D][B]
I [C]know, that this can be more than just
[Em]Flashing [D]lights and sounds

[Interlude 3]
[C]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Rhetoric can't raise the dead,
I'm sick of always [C]talking
When there's [G]no [C]change[Em]
Rhetoric can't raise the dead,
I'm sick of empty [D]words
[B]Let's [C]lead, and not [Em]follow

[Verse 10]
Late night, brakes [Em]lock,
hear the tires [C]squeal
Red light, can't stop, so I spin the wheel
[G]My world goes black before I[D]

[Verse 11]
Feel an angel steal me from the
[Em]Greedy jaws of death and chance
And [C]pull me in with steady
hands
[G]They've given me a second chance
The [Am]artist [G]in the am[D]bulance

[Verse 12]
I [C]hope, that I will never let you [Em]down[G][B]
I [C]know, that this can be more than just
[Em]Flashing [D]lights and sounds
[C]

[Verse 13]
Can we [Em]pick you [D]off the [C]ground?
More than [Em]flashing [D]lights and [C]sounds

[Outro 1]
[C]
