0Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
                                    G2
1Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
                              D3
2My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
      Em4               C5

      G6                               D7                       Em8

10What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
  G18                              D19
11I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

           Em35                                      C36
22there's a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
