End Of The Line chords by Boy And Bear

1 full step down [2 frets]

G [C] G

G
The end of the line
       C
A calamity at first sight
           Am
Now the man in me don't walk right
             D  D7
Just like a pebble in my shoe

G        [C] G
But you were a wanderer;
        C
And a competent one at that
            Am
So it caught me by surprise this venerability
            D
That I never thought I had

      Em
But you tried so hard to say oh
C        G
everything you wanted to
        Am  G  D
But with an aching tongue-
  Am            G  D
Oh you spat out at the world now not of words
     D7    C     G
but at the pearl that had belonged to her

    C            G
So I went back to the country
    C            G
where the air was mild and sweet
Am
I was in need of some reprieve and intermission
          D
Oh to gather up my things and to get back upon my feet
       C         G
But I cant say I've got the answers
     C       G
For it's always shades of grey
Am
But there's a warmth in the air in mid-September
    D
And its enough across my face just to
        C       G   [C]  G
Remind me that I'm well upon my way

G
And I feel the ease
C
Man I feel it tingle in my toes
             Am
How funny are the way that these memories do grow
       D
Into some old french film in black and white
G       [C]-G
And I know the ropes
           C
Because you see I've said goodbye to some lovers
        Am
Fleshed out and tied to each other
      D
By that invisible string it tangles me

Em
And when that morning came up fast well it
C        G
Broke the fever square upon its back
Am  G  D
and finally I felt just like I should
 Am     G
oh the blood under my fingers warmed
D              C    G
the clearing of two month storm now done...


      C      G
So I went back to the country
    C            G
where the air's now bitter sweet
Am
as subtle is the change of my indifference
      D
Oh but strange is how this solitude

can beat a man complete
      C      G
and I can't wait 'till the morning;
   C             G
be it sunshine, hail or snow
    Am
see I do not believe in superstition
      D
But somewhere amongst this mess
    C                G   [C]  G
I may have found some happiness to call my own


    Am       D7
Oh and time is a healer
C          G
time is a friend of mine
Am        D7
in time if you feel it
C          G
would you be a friend of mine
    C
oh I hope you're a friend of mine
