G

[Verse 1]
G                                  Em
i gave my all for what I thought I wanted
      C
when all that wanting wants is what you
                                 G
think you want but never really got

G                                  Em
you told me I could stay until the morning
    C
but would I give my heart back on the way
                            G
to tend the flowers that you bought

G                                 Em
i don’t believe I understand the question
          C
could you paraphrase and understate and throw away
                 G
until it’s what I thought

[Bridge]
Em C       G
no one can know
   Em       C      G
no one will ever know

[Chorus]
   Em
we ran in circles ‘til we cried
    C
and burned our bridges side by side
    G
so many times, four years, two I's

     Em
your body wears a winter coat
     C
with pride to keep your head afloat
      G
we’re buried with our words now

        C  G
in the snow
        C  G
in the snow

[Verse 2]
G                                       Em
time holds all of our smallest memories hostage
        C
we were witness to events that don’t make sense
                          G
without the context of this show

G                                   Em
these words can never represent my feelings
              C
they’re just particles of participles
                           G
parted by the syntax of the snow

[Bridge]
Em C       G
no one can know
   Em       C      G
no one will ever know

[Chorus]
   Em
we ran in circles ‘til we cried
    C
and burned our bridges side by side
    G
so many times, four years, two I's

     Em
your body wears a winter coat
     C
with pride to keep your head afloat
      G
we’re buried with our words now

        C  G
in the snow
        C  G
in the snow
