Engine severs lower legs, I feel my bruised heart beating — Spinal cord 
   Am7      Em                 F      Fm       Am              Am/G         
remains in tact, still sending and receiving — Laying back on shoulder 
  F                    C  C/B Am            Am/G        F
blades, cargo rushing past — Missing limbs beneath the cars, twitching on

off above the knee — To sacrifice his shins and feet, and set his torso 
 G      Dm      Am         F                 Em   E/G#   Dm
