Verse 1:
      B                        Abm
I sur-vived a dreadful accident
        E               Abm     Gb
In the car crash of the cen-tury
             B                            Abm
My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement
                       E
But in the back of the ambulance
           B             Gb
I'd never felt so content

Chorus:
  Dbm
a high-speed collision gave
  B             Gb
a new sense of sight to me
Dbm                      Abm         Gb
   And now my vision can render the scene
Dbm                  B            Gb
   a blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
E                       Gb
 Happiness returned to me
                          B
Through a grave emergency

Interlude:
B       Gb        Dbm  E
  Da da da, da da daaaa

  Da da da, da da daaaa

Verse 2:
               B                   Abm
I tossed and turned, in sterile apathy
            E        Abm       Gb
Until the violets arrived for me
              B                             Abm
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room
                   E
And the police got smaller as they grew taller
    Abm            Gb
And taught me to bloom

Chorus:
  Dbm
a high-speed collision gave
  B             Gb
a new sense of sight to me
Dbm                      Abm         Gb
   And now my vision can render the scene
Dbm                  B            Gb
   a blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
E                       Gb
 Happiness returned to me

Through a grave emergency

Bridge:
A
 The curtains decayed
E                      G
 The daylight poured in
               D                      A
I was never afraid of the darkness again
                        E
My burns were third degree
                   B
But I'd been set free
                                   Gbsus4     Gb
'Cause grace had finally found its way to me

Chorus:
  Dbm
a high-speed collision gave
  B             Gb
a new sense of sight to me
Dbm                      Abm         Gb
   And now my vision can render the scene
Dbm                  B            Gb
   a blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
E                       Gb
 Happiness returned to me
                 E
-Da da da, da da daaa-
                      Gb
Happiness returned to me
                 E
-Da da da, da da daaa-
                      Gb
Happiness returned to me
                         B
Through a grave emergency

B      Gb               Dbm
 Happi-ness returned to me
           B             E
