Fiery Crash from Armchair Acrophya. Intro: A (repeated strumming) to E (let ring) With this little pattern on lead (on G sting) 7-9-10-9

A
turnstiles on mezzanine

jet ways and dramamine fiends and x-ray machines

                         D
you were hurling through space

g-forces twisting your face

               A
breeding superstition

              E
a fatal premonition

                       D
you know you got to envision

            A
the fiery crash

E                           D
oh, close your eyes and you wake up

                A
face stuck to a vinyl settee

E                            D
oh, the line was starting to break up

                 A              
just as you were starting to say

(pause then riff) something apropos, i don't know. riff (on G string) - 6-4-6-4-2-6-4-2 Interlude: Verse chords

A
beige tiles and magazines

lou dobbs and the cnn team turn on every monitor screen

                       D
you were caught in the crossfire

where every human face has you reaching for your mace so it's

           A
kind of an imposition

a fatal premonition

   E                              D
to save our lives you've got to envision

   E                                 D
to save all our lives you've got to envision

   E                                      D
and to save all our lives you've got to envision

          A
the fiery crash

     D          A
it's just a formality

     D          A
why must i explain?

     D          A
just a nod to mortality

E (let ring) before you get on

                    A
before you get on a plane.

E                           D
oh, close your eyes and you wake up

                A
face stuck to a vinyl settee

E                            D
oh, the line was starting to break up

                        A
what was that you were going to say?
