Cm                                                  Cm 
I've got a nightmare to remember, I'll never be the same 
Cm                                           Cm 
What began as laughter so soon would turn to pain 
Cm                                                   Cm 
The sky was clear and frigid, the air was thick and still 
Cm                                               Cm 
Now I'm not one to soon forget and I bet I never will

A flawless new beginning eclipsed by tragedy

Lying on the table in this unfamiliar place 
Cm                           F 
I'm greeted by a stranger, a man without a face 
          Cm                          F 
He said, "Son do you remember? Do you even know your name?"

"Take this for the pain"

"Can you move all of your fingers? Can you try your best to stand?"

I asked about the others

"Is everyone okay?" 
    Cm             F        Cm                   F 
He told me not to worry as he turned and looked away
