Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Speed the Collapse” dari Metric.
[Verse 1]
Em
All the way from where we came
B
Built a mansion in a day
Am
Distant lightning, thunder claps
G
Watched our neighbor's house collapse
B
Looked the other way
Em
And then, the storm was overhead
B
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
Am
We auctioned off our memories
G
In the absence of a breeze
B
Scatter what remains
B
Scatter what remains
[Chorus]
C
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
Em
A comedown of revolving doors
D
Every warning we ignored
C
Drifting in from distant shores
C
The wind presents a change of course
Em
A second reckoning of sorts
D
We were wasted, waiting for
C
A comedown of revolving doors
[Hook]
C
(ah ah ah ah)
Em
(ah ah ah ah)
D C
(ah ah ah ah)
C
Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)
Em
(ah ah ah ah)
D C
(ah ah ah ah)
[Verse 2]
Em
And when the days that followed passed
B
In another mansion built to last
Am
From our window, we could see
G
Only possibilities
B
down the road and back
Em
But then, the storm returned for more
B
In a comedown of revolving doors
Am
Auctioned off our memories
G
In the absence of a breeze
B
Scatter what remains
B
Scatter what remains
[Chorus]
C
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
Em
A comedown of revolving doors
D
Every warning we ignored
C
Drifting in from distant shores
C
The wind presents a change of course
Em
A second reckoning of sorts
D
We were wasted, waiting for
C
A comedown of revolving doors
[Hook]

Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)

Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)

Fate don't fail me now
