Verse

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

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


Chorus

    A
And I wanted you to know
                          C#m          F#m      E             
 A
It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'll never leave
                  C#m                F#m
A place we never want to call home
   E                  D                     E
A place we'll call a final resting place in pieces

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


Chorus


I wanted you to know
                          C#m          F#m      E             
 A
It was you that we were thinking of as we quietly died in the snow

A place we'll never leave
                  C#m                F#m
A place we never want to call home
   E                  D                     E
A place we'll call a final resting place in pieces
