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

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

and all in all i guess it’s for the better
F#m A D
if you don’t remember anything , sit and sing

a place we’ll call a final resting place in pieces
