Verse 1: 

      B                        Abm 
I sur-vived a dreadful accident 
        E               Abm     F#    
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             F# 
I'd never felt so content 

Pre-chorus: 

  C#m                       
A high-speed collision gave 
  B             F#       
A new sense of sight to me 
C#m                      Abm         F# 
   And now my vision can render the scene 
C#m                  B            F#              
   A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris 
E                       F# 
 Happiness returned to me 
                          B 
Through a grave emergency

Verse 2 (as verse 1):
 
I tossed and turned, in sterile apathy 
Until the violets arrived for me 
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room 
And the police got smaller as they grew taller 
And taught me to bloom 

Pre-chorus 

Bridge: 

A                     
 The curtains decayed  
E                      G 
 the daylight poured in 
              D                      A                       
I was never a-fraid of the darkness again 
                       E 
My burns were third de-gree 
                  B 
But I'd been set free 
                                   F#      
'Cause grace had finally found its way to me 


Pre-chorus 2: 

  C#m                       
A high-speed collision gave 
  B             F#       
A new sense of sight to me 
C#m                      Abm         F# 
   And now my vision can render the scene 
C#m                  B            F#              
   A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris 
E                       F# 
 Happiness returned to me 
                 E 
(Da da da, da da daaa) 
                      F# 
Happiness returned to me 
                 E 
(Da da da, da da daaa) 
                      F# 
Happiness returned to me 
                         B 
Through a grave emergency
