Em                                      C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal

                                    G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel

                              D
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up

      Em               C
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white

      G                               D                       Em
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone
[Bridge] C -> G -> D
       Em                          C
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger

                    G
And I realize that empty words are not enough

      D
I'm left here with the question of just

Em                              C
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?

  G                              D
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
[Chorus]
   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down

   C                                    Em        D         C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
Em -> C -> G -> D [Verse] Em (just one strike) C Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares G (just one strike) D It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that
           Em                                      C
there's a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have

G                                      D
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and
[Chorus]
   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down

   C                                    Em        D         C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
[Verse]
Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead

                    C
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change

Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead

                   D               C         D
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow

Em                                      C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal

                                    G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel

                              D
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the

Em                                    C
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands

         G                             D
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
[Chorus]
   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down

   C                                    Em        D         C

        Em      D        C                 Em       D          C
Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
