This transcription of this song was taken from a live acoustic version in which Billy plays by himself and sings.  The album version of the song is quite different and has much less guitar in it.

Em         Am      Em
The lights came on fast
Em      Am      Em
Lost in motorcrash
Em   Am    Em
Gone in a flash unreal
Em         Am      Em
But you knew all along

C
You laugh the light
           Em
I sing the songs
C            D
To watch you numb

N/c          Bm  Am  Em
I saw you there
                      Bm  Am  Em
You were on your way
                   Bm  Am  D
You held the rain
                        Bm     Am     Em
And for the first time, heaven seemed insane
       Bm     Am     Em
'Cause heaven is to blame
Bm     Am     Em
For taking you away

Em                             Am
And do you know the way that I can
D                                Em
Do you know the way that I can't lose?
Em                               Am
And do you know the things that I can
D                                Em
Do you know the things that I can do?

Em    Am      C
Where is your heart?
D             C         Em
Where is your heart gone to?
Em       Am
Tear me apart
D                  Em
Tear me apart from you

C
You laugh the light
           Em
I cry the wound
C             D
In gray afternoons


I saw you there
You were on your way
You held the rain
And for the first time, heaven seemed insane
For taking you away
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away

Em          Am      Em
The lights came to pass
Em          Am      Em
Dead opera motorcrash
Em   Am    Em
Gone in a flash unreal
   Bm      Am      Em
In nitrous overcast

And do you know the way that I can
Do you know the way that I can't lose?
And do you know the things that I can
Do you know the things that I can't lose?

Em       Am
Tear me apart
C                    Em
Tear me apart from you
Em             Am
Where is your heart?
C                     Em
Where is your heart run to?
