Bread in the evening and then we will make 
     G                    G/F# 
Snow angels in winter and cider in spring 
    G/E                       G/C

Forgive me for all of the things that I said 
      G/E                    G/C 
While trapped in this house, trapped in this head 
G                            G/F# 
Trapped in this body that'll soon turn to dust 
       G/E                    G/C 
At the whims of a god I'm not sure that I trust

One day you won't be here and neither will I 
        G/E                      G/C 
Will we end up in the ground, or up in the sky?

The lone consolation is one day we will

Let's make a radio show 
      G/E 
About how we don't know 
G/C 
Anything

We shall rest
