verse 1 
G                                  Em 
i gave my all for what I thought I wanted 
      C 
when all the wanting wants is what you 
                                 G 
think you want but really haven’t 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 to leave 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
