[Intro]
     C                            F
this is a heartfelt letter to my one and only friend
 D                             Em
one that i am writing at the warm and bitter end
   C                              F
i know you can't read it because you'll be dead too
                   D                        Em
but isn't that a nice thought? that you'll see it?
N.C
so this letter's for you

[Instrumental]
(C, F, D, Em; Strum Pattern 2)

[Verse 1]

N.C.       C                             F
you can't call me when it's over 'cuz i know we'll both be gone
            D                           Em
it won't matter anymore, you know, 'cuz what's been done is done
       C                             F
as we lay here these last minutes, won't you tell me what you think
         D
of the life in this one year we lived
      Em
were we the missing link?

(Strum Pattern 1)
      D                              F
i'll see you on the other side, my friend

[Verse 2]

(Strum Pattern 2)
    C                               F
i know that i won't miss you cuz i know i will be dead
             D                            Em
but it's something nice to think about, well don't you think so too?
       C                           F
while we won't go quietly, we'll rage 'till our last breath,
          D                                  F
we will fight to the last second and we'll know we did our best


[Bridge]

(Strum Pattern 1)
        D                            F
to protect the dying light inside of all of us
      D                            Em
but death is always coming for us all

      D                                    F
and you can't protect yourself but you can make a legacy
     Bm                                Em
and this is what i choose to leave behind

[Verse 3/Pre-Chorus]

(Strum Pattern 2)
Em                F                                   D
we'll make them scared, we'll make them worry, we'll make them laugh and cry and through the
Em
things they all create for us,
D
inside them we'll never die
G                                   F
amidst the skulls and hour-glasses we'll always be alive

[Chorus]
              C
so remember death, momento mori,
           F
remember death, it's our only story
           D
remember death and the buddy system
           Em                                  G
remember death and help to dig your friend a grave for when they die

C
oh, momento mori
F
oh, momento mori
D
oh, momento mori
Em
oh, momento mori

[Bridge]

(Strum Pattern 1)
                  G                               F
while there are parts i have forgotten over the course of this one year
         D                       Em
i would not have spent it with anyone other than you

(Strum Pattern 2)
         C
we are black and we are white
         F
we are dark and we are light
            D
we are the end and the beginning

(Strum Pattern 1)
       Em
sorry if that sounds cliche
              F
but i can't help it
                   D
we're literally dressed like that

[Verse 4]

(Strum Pattern 2)
            C                                 F
so have champagne and a slice of cake with me
                  D                        Em
we celebrate the end of year-long journey
C                                 F                           D                          Em
in these long 12 hours, we will laugh and cry and worry and maybe we will get a little scared
   C                                     F
maybe it hasn't hit you yet because it hasn't hit me
        D                           Em
but the 2 of us are dying
C                                        F
while it doesn't feel quite real yet, i know that i am ready

[Pre-Chorus]

(Strum Pattern 1)
D                                       Em
so hold my hand and we will walk into death

C                                F
but in death we will never be alone

[Chorus]

(Strum Pattern 2)
C
oh, momento mori
F
oh, momento mori
D
oh, momento mori
Em
oh, momento mori

              C
so remember death, momento mori,
           F
remember death, it's our only story
           D
remember death and the buddy system
           Em                                  G
remember death and help to dig your friend a grave for when they die

              C
so remember death, momento mori
            F
remember death, though it's quite gory
           D
remmeber death, and you will die
              Em                          F      D      Em
but you will never ever have to die alone

[Outro]

C      F
o-oh, ooh
D      Em
o-oh, ooh

(Strum Pattern 1)
G                                         C
remember death, but you will never die alone
