[hit xtra F cymbal crashes]
Suddenly you were gone from all the lives you left your mark upon.

I remember -
how we talked and drank into the misty dawn. I hear the voices.
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn. I see the footprints.
I remember...

Tried to believe but you know it's no good.
This is something that just can't be understood.
[Riff 2] x4 /w lyrics:
I remember -
the shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods. I hear the echoes.
I learned your love for life. I feel the way that you would. I feel your
presence. I remember...

The noise you hear in the background is a keyboard. The guitar
strikes all notes which are notes with an asterisk and a fret box, ex.
[x35553]. All other notes are the keyboard.
