Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A augmentedA

Verse 1:
 A augmentedA
Turn around and look at how far we've come from
 A augmentedA
Two hearts beating like a single drum
 D MajorD                      A augmentedA
Said you'd never lie and I promised I'd never run
 E MajorE
Forever wasn't just another word back then
 D MajorD                         A augmentedA
We swore we'd stay together ever after, thick and thin
          A augmentedA
Now this is how it ends

Verse 2:
 A augmentedA
Guess I should've seen it coming from the start
 A augmentedA
Comes to love, the falling is the easy part
 D MajorD                       A augmentedA
Everybody told me you were only gonna break my heart
 E MajorE
Been around this lonely world and back again
 D MajorD                      A augmentedA
From the time I found myself a lover and a friend
          A augmentedA
Now this is how it ends


Bridge 1:
 A augmentedA       E MajorE
This is how it ends
 E MajorE             D MajorD
If you'd only told me back then
 D MajorD                  A augmentedA
You wouldn't find me in the shape I'm in
 A augmentedA
Just another fool who trusted in


Verse 3:
 A augmentedA
A majorA fairy tale they tell about a love so strong
 A augmentedA
Flowing like a river rolling on and on
 D MajorD                           A augmentedA
Come around the bend and I looked around but you were gone
 E MajorE
Never saw it coming but you can't pretend
   D MajorD                      A augmentedA
The line between a secret and a lie ain't razor thin
           A augmentedA
And this is where it ends


Solo:

Bridge 2:
        E MajorE
This is how it ends
 E MajorE                D MajorD
Hand-me-down a dress on a wasted day
 D MajorD                A augmentedA
Ring in the pocket of a vest of gray
 A augmentedA               E MajorE
That's the way a cheating song begins
        A augmentedA
This is how it ends
