Verse

F#5         A5                D5                               F#5
    So it began this way, I can't recall how it got started
         A5               D5                       F#5
So it began this way, I don't recall a thing
           A5                D5
And all in all I guess it's for the better
               F#5         A5     D5               F#5
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing

              A5              D5                                F#5
There was a time when everything we did seemed second nature
              A5              D5                         F#5
There was a time when everything we did seemed free
            A5                D5
And all in all I guess it's for the better
                 F#5       A5    D5        E5
If you don't remember anything, sit and sing


Chorus

    A5
And I wanted you to know
                          C#5          F#5      E5             
 A5
It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'll never leave
                  C#5                F#5
A place we never want to call home
   E5                  D5                     E5
A place we'll call a final resting place in pieces

F#5        A5               D5                                 F#5
  So we began this way, I don't recall where we got started
           A5                D5                    F#5
And so we end this way no trace of us in spring
        A5                 D5                                 
F#5             A5
All in all, I guess it's for the better if you just can't feel a fucking thing
 D5      E5        A5
Fall asleep and die


Chorus


I wanted you to know
                          C#5          F#5      E5             
 A5
It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'll never leave
                  C#5                F#5
A place we never want to call home
   E5                  D5                     E5
A place we'll call a final resting place in pieces
