This Is How It Ends chords by Steve Earle

Intro:
A

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

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


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


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

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