Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Intro: C#m, B

C#m
The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen
B
In this carousel the silence is so surreal
C#m
I've been misled through empty streets to the
B
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep

[Verse 1]

C#m A B
We're blessed with these horrors for highways
C#m A
This city turns no longer content to just brush shoulders
B F#m E C#m
Have we lost our touch

Break 1

C#m
A light goes on

We throw our blankets aside

It's been hours now and we still know nothing
B C#m
The scars just don't heal the same when we collide

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
I'd never say that we step to the other side
B
To keep us from brushing shoulders
C#m A B
But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive

[Chorus]

A B
I'd never say that you make me sick but you're
C#m
Turning all the questions to cancers
A B
Someone call in the emergency and we'll
C#m
Peel back the dressings so we can see
A B
The kind of things that the surgeons see
C#m G#m
When the blood work won't give us the answers
A B C#m
They'll never tell us cause they don't know whats
C#m A B
killing us

[Break 2]

C#m
My heart's at a million miles an hour as we
C/G#
Brace for the impact it makes time stand still
C#m
Forcing momentum into a moment so for a
C/G#
Split second I see your face
C#m
In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile
C/G#
This is a picture we'll never quite forget

[Bridge]

C#m
The surgeons pick they pick at my body

Their fingers dance they dance all around me
C#m
The surgeons pick they pick at my body
E G#m
Their fingers dance they dance all around me
C#m
Hold still while they pick at my body
E G#m
Their fingers dance they dance all around me
A
Hold still while they pick at my body
B C#m (G#m)
They'll dance all around me

[Build]

A B C#m G#m
Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down
A B
Tear back the skin to find to chase a pulse back home

[Chorus]

Outro: C#m, C/G#
