Verse 2: D A G D Set the crosshairs back on one, D A G D you said we'd only die here in a sun. D A G The way your headstone shines, D A G D I only wish that it was mine. (Rhythm & Bass Riff) D A G D (x3) (Distorted Guitar Solo) D A G D (x3) (Distorted Lead over Verse 3) Verse 3: D A G D So set the crosshairs back on one, D A G D I nail the loop that brings the second run, D G D past the wished on charms D A G D and through the lens back to your living arms. (Distorted Guitar Chords in Solo) Dm A7 | Dm A7 | Dm A7 | (x3) D A G D (x3) Chorus: (Asynchronous Vocal Harmony - Delay) D A G D This time machine won't power down. D A G D And this time machine won't power down. Verse 4: D A G D And still the crosshairs rest on one, D A G D and still you rest there in the morning sun. D A G D Still I fumble through pages of constructions on the ride. Verse 5: D A G D I like the blown out sound we've found, D A G D I like the way it feels here coming down. D A G The way your headstone shines, D A G D I only wish that it was mine. Coda: (Final Guitar Riff - Stocatto with sustain on the last chord) | Dm A7 | (x3) | G7 Dm | (End)
