G+G  A augmentedA   D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    All in the terror of the moment
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    That pounces as it open swings
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G  A augmentedA

      D MajorD      D/F#D/F# G+G    A augmentedA
    For I have seen the speed of things

    I threw some earth onto your coffin
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    And thought about the speed of things

    Oh, a girl to share the speed of things
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    Oh, a girl to share the speed of things

    That pounces as it open swings
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    A augmentedA line of dots illuminated
      D MajorD       D/F#D/F# G+G A augmentedA
    For I have seen the speed of things
