A minorAm G+G   D7D7  E7E7 Fmaj7Fmaj7
How thoughtless of me
C majorC G+G  FF  C majorC  E7E7
How dumb can you be

And in fact

It was even more true than you knew


🎸 Chorus 1:
N.C.              A minorAm
Where did the end of the rope go
D7D7         A minorAm
I forget now, did I let go
FF         DmDm       Bdim7Bdim7
After you left me hangin' on your words
   Bdim7Bdim7
Which hung down like a rope
E7E7  N.C.        A minorAm D7D7
Where did the end of it go
      A minorAm  N.C.
I'll never know

A minorAm   G+G D7D7    E7E7  Fmaj7Fmaj7
You're gone, but I'm still there
C majorC G+G  FF C majorC  E7E7
Clawing at the air
     FF      DmDm
Now it's curtains for me
     A minorAm     D MajorD
And I'll spend eternity
   C majorC   Cmaj7Cmaj7 A minorAm  D7D7   E7E7
Doing joyless cartwheels in the void

N.C.              A minorAm
Where did the end of the rope go
D7D7         A minorAm
I forget now, did I let go
FF           DmDm       Bdim7Bdim7
Long ago, you left me hangin' on your words
   Bdim7Bdim7
Which hung down like a rope from the sky

No one can ever know

No one can ever know
