In other lives

C5 E B3 G6 F2 C5

In a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine

I wrote the plotline

Only I knew who survived

Who survived

C5 E B3 G6 F2

And through the night

C5 E B3 G6 F2 C5

In a really fast car on an uphill climb

C5 E B3 G6 F2

Blew past a danger sign

C5 D4 E B3 Ebadd9 Cm G/B

And fell through darkness, sublime

Ebadd9 Cm G/B

But awoke just in time

With no look on my face

In younger days

I'm stealing bases while my mother prays

And dreading to wake

Longing for one more play
