Rise Against - The approaching curve

^BmThe music played with a calming frequency ^AThe speakers gently seeped with sounds Of ambient ^Bmkeyboards and light percussion Creating a seductive ^Asoundtrack to our midnight drive Through curtains of ^Bmblackness, the windows were cold to the touch ^AReflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity ^GSalt stains and fingerprints littered the glass And streaks of melting snow cascaded ^Bmdown its length The music pulsed louder, yet ^Agentle Like the far away squeal of a ^Bmpot of boiling water The skyline was glowing ^Afaintly with vague hints of an impending dawn ^BmThe car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road ^AAnd she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel Two de^Ggrees in the last twenty minutes Nor ^Ahad we spoken

As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy They'll ^Dremember, only our ^Asmiles cause that's all ^Bmthey've seen Long since ^Ddried, when we are ^Afound, are the ^F#mtears in which we ^Ghad drowned As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy

^Bm"Why are you doing this?" she spoke as if ^Anot expecting a response Her voice penetrated the ^Bmstill air of our speechless drive So ^Asuddenly that my heart had jumped "I'm not doing any^Bmthing," I said, but I didn't even believe that myself ^A"This is what's best, for me, for ^Gyou, for us," or maybe just for me I thought ^GAs a tear formed in the pit of her eye ^BmThe music poured through the speakers and We were ^Alosing ourselves in the cadence She looked ^Bmdown momentarily and closed her eyes for A bit ^Alonger than a standard blink Then she was ^Bmcrying, then she was shouting. Then ^AI was shouting Now pouring confessions, having no ^Ganswers, or solutions ^GWe barely even knew the questions

As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy They'll ^Dremember, only our ^Asmiles cause that's all ^Bmthey've seen Long since ^Ddried, when we are ^Afound, are the ^F#mtears in which we ^Ghad drowned As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy

^BmDon't put ^Gme under^Agro^Gund, ^BmI was ^Gmeant for a ^Alife somewhere ^Gelse ^BmPlease, love, ^Ggive me the ^Awhe^Gel, ^Bmbefore ^Gboth of our ^Ahearts ^Gyou ^GWill steal tonight (will steal tonight)

As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy They'll ^Dremember, only our ^Asmiles cause that's all ^Bmthey've seen Long since ^Ddried, when we are ^A/Efound, are the t^F#mears in which we h^Gad drowned As we ^Dwere, so ^Aperfect, so ^Bmhappy

^BmOur cracking voices became part of the music. The car ^Apressed on faster through the night As our voices lowered the ^Gcadence again overtook the air ^GUp ahead there was a curve approaching She made no indi^Acations of slowing
