G                              C
In the 5 minutes worth of lost time that I had
     G                       D
When I was passed out on the supermarket floor
      G                      C
I saw you at the head of the heavenly chorus
    G                         D               G
and I heard your song ringing all through the store

Intro Riff

G                             C
In the 5 minutes when my broadcast got preempted
  G                          D
I saw you touchdown you were no longer dead
      G                 C
I was happy to see ya I had lots of questions
    G                    D             G
and I put my hand to the wound in your head

             C                  G
 Ah the blood all of that blood
             G    Em    
 All of that warm blood 
C        D             G
 Flowing freely from you

Intro Riff

In the 5 minutes when I was dead to the world
In a place far away from my friends and my home
I saw you with a smile on your radiant face
Amidst all of the cans and the glass and the chrome

Intro Riff

In those 5 minutes my signal was jammed
The frequencies that I received were so pure
That I almost believed that the sight of the hole 
In your skull was a thing that my heart could endure

Ah the blood
All of that blood
All of that warm blood
Flowing freely from you

Intro Riff
