[Verse]
EmFifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light
the Cdiagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams
your Ggarden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die
the Amcooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again.
EmCircuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control
Cthey snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood
the Gworld is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees through heavy air a demon shrieks, 
Gwhat have I done, what hell is waiting for me? 
[Chorus]
AmI crashed beFfore the birth of CChrist
PteroGdactyls swarming
AmYou died in Fnineteen eighty Cnine
Just wanna get back Gto that morning in May
FKeep you in Ambed, never esGcape
Holding you Cclose, oh oh oh-oh-oh
FListen to you Ambreathe the evening Gglow
of fading light and cooling spaEmce

Em    Cmaj7    Em    Cmaj7
[VERSE]
Like Emmotor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone
the Cburning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere
like Gwinter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep
like Ampetals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep.
EmAnd now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide
that Cmassive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside
GI must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life
Gfix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what Time has done! 
[Chorus]
AmI crashed beFfore the birth of CChrist

I Emcarve your sweet Cmname into the Gcave, I'm sure to Cmdie
All my Emstrife has been in Cmvain, the glaciers Gcome and wash my words Cmaway.

[Intro]

Em C

G Am

[Verse]

Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light

the diagrams and haunted sleep, frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams

your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die

the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again.

Circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control

they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood

the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees through heavy air a demon shrieks,

what have I done, what hell is waiting for me?

[Chorus]

Am F C

I crashed before the birth of Christ

Pterodactyls swarming

Am F C

You died in nineteen eighty nine

Just wanna get back to that morning in May

F Am G

Keep you in bed, never escape

Holding you close, oh oh oh-oh-oh

F Am G

Listen to you breathe the evening glow

of fading light and cooling space

[Interlude]

Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7

[VERSE]

Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone

the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere

like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined to hold and keep

like petals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep.

And now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide

that massive, screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside

I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life

fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what Time has done!

[Chorus]

Am F C

I crashed before the birth of Christ

Pterodactyls swarming

Am F C

You died in nineteen eighty nine

Just wanna get back to that morning in May

F Am G

Keep you in bed, never escape

Holding you close, oh oh oh-oh-oh

F Am G

Listen to you breathe the evening glow

of fading light and cooling space

[Bridge]

Em Cm G Cm

I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die

All my strife has been in vain, the glaciers come and wash my words away.
