Bright Flashes

	  		D - Bm - D - Bm 
There were bright flashes the day you were born 
D - Bm - Em - A 
And your mother's hair was brown. 
D - Bm - D - Bm 
All of the doctors pronounced you a dead man 
D - Bm - Em - A 
And they told her what to prepare for. 
D - Bm - D - Bm 
Somewhere far from you at the center of earth 
D - Bm - Em - A 
The science that made you awoke. 

D - Bm -D - Bm - D - Bm - A 
And it said oooo. 

D - Bm - D - Bm 
The gods in the sky draped in cloth made of clover  
D - Bm - Em - A 
Amused by the cliffs of your plights 
D - Bm - D - Bm 
Sent down a goddess with hair black as night. 
D - Bm - Em - A 
She gave you a piece of her power. 
D - Bm - D - Bm 
And once you were young and gasping for air 
D - Bm - Em - A 
And now you are strong as a mountain. 

G - A - D - F# - G - A - D 
And all things considered it's quite coincidence I am still here and so are you. 

D - Bm - D - Bm 
The floor of the Earth may decide to upturn us,   
D - Bm - A 
The skies might be ready to strike. 
D - Bm - D - Bm 
And you might decide, overwhelmed with surprise  
D - Bm - A 
That there might be something on earth worth saving. 

D - Bm -D - Bm - D - Bm - A 
Let it be me. 

D - Bm - D - Bm 
Oxygen sometimes can lead you off course 
D - Bm - Em - E 
and breathing is something to die for, 
G - A - D - F# - G - A - D 
but all things considered it's quite coincidence I am still here and so are you.
