Okay, so these are the chords to the sung part of both The ballet of the impact
and The beauty of it all, which add up nicely to make a single acoustic song.
While I also love the instrumental parts, they d be troublesome to play alone - and to tab.
Capo 1 (or transpose a half-step up)
The windshield explodes
Like a bomb packed with diamonds
There s a deafening silence
Time flows to a crawl
As the ballet of the impact
Spreads out across the blacktop
Angels dancing down like raindrops
In the air as they fall
So this is how it goes
So this is how it ends
A flatbed runs a red light
No time to comprehend
As a blizzard of my memories
Lights up like fireflies
In the sliver of an instant
In a flash before my eyes...
---change of song, same chords, same melody---
I m drifting on the water
Far out from the land
Moving throug my memories
As I try to understand
If I wake tomorrow wiser
Or it s time to shed my skin
And let go of a lifetime
That I can t have back again
All the love we leave behind
All the work we leave undone
All the words we leave unspoken
All the things we won t become
But there s little I would change
In the live that I recalled
If I could paint a picture
Of the beauty of it all
