[Verse 3]
   GSo the hearse ran out of gas, a Dpassenger person grabbed a map
And the Emdriver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And Gchecked his watch and grabbed a cab, a Dbeautifully plain taxi cab
A Emcab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack
   GDriving once again, but Dnow this time there were three men
And Emthen I heard one of them say, "I know the night will turn to gray
I Gknow the stars will start to fade when Dall the darkness fades away
We Emhad to steal him from his fate so he could see another day."
   GAnd then I cracked open my Dbox, someone must have picked the Emlock
A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had Gfought
Then I pushed it open Dmore, pushing up against the Emdoor
Then I sat up off the floor and found the breath I was searching Gfor
Then there were three men up Dfront, all I saw were backs of Emheads
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well, or am I dreaming Gdead?"
Then one turned around to Dsay, "We're driving toward the morning, Emson
Where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be unGdone."
G D Em
[Outro]

[Verse 3]

G D

So the hearse ran out of gas, a passenger person grabbed a map

And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past

G D

And checked his watch and grabbed a cab, a beautifully plain taxi cab

A cab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack

G D

Driving once again, but now this time there were three men

And then I heard one of them say, "I know the night will turn to gray

G D

I know the stars will start to fade when all the darkness fades away

We had to steal him from his fate so he could see another day."

G D Em

And then I cracked open my box, someone must have picked the lock

A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought

D Em

Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door

Then I sat up off the floor and found the breath I was searching for

D Em

Then there were three men up front, all I saw were backs of heads

And then I asked, "Am I alive and well, or am I dreaming dead?"

D Em

Then one turned around to say, "We're driving toward the morning, son

Where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be undone."

G D Em

[Outro]

G D Em

I said, don't be afraid

G D Em

I said, don't be afraid

Em Cadd9 G D

until the end.
