[Verse 1]
G A D D/F# G A
All in the terror of the moment
D D/F# G A
That pounces as it open swings
D D/F# G A
A line of dots illu - mi - nated
D D/F# G A
For I have seen the speed of things
[Verse 2]
G A D D/F# G A
I fed you in your chair this morning
D D/F# G A
You made a mess of everything
D D/F# G A
By afternoon, you drove a sports car
D D/F# G A
You were driving at the speed of things
[Verse 3]
G A D D/F# G A
You held my hand when I was crying
D D/F# G A
You were allergic to bee stings
D D/F# G A
I threw some earth onto your coffin
D D/F# G A
And thought about the speed of things
[Verse 4]
G A D D/F# G A
I kissed you by the clear, cold river
D D/F# G A
I felt like I was growing wings
D D/F# G A
But I grew horns and found another
D D/F# G A
Oh, a girl to share the speed of things
D D/F# G A
Oh, a girl to share the speed of things
[Verse 5]
G A D D/F# G A
All in the terror of the moment
D D/F# G A
That pounces as it open swings
D D/F# G A
A line of dots illuminated
D D/F# G A
For I have seen the speed of things
