chorus (1st time around):                  chorus (2nd time around): 
  1st line is truly incomprehensible.        1st line incomprehensible 
  I've got nothing left to prove             I've got nothing left to prove
  If I die far away                          If I die far away 
  Hope I don't come back again.              Hope I don't come back the same. 



After the chorus is done the 2nd time, go back and play the verse part.
The song fades from here while Kurt just sang "even his youth   even in
his youth   even in his youth  even in his youth".   If you can't fade
gracefully (I'm not good at it myself), chop it off at the C.
