Intro:

Gm7    F    Em    Ebm
Cm7    F    Bb
 
Verse 1:
Gm7
The flowers by your bed
Cm7
Faded brown but once were red
F
And your hair like petals fell
Bb
But at the time no one could tell
 
Gm7
I thought the end belonged to me
Cm7
I chose my words so carefully
Eb            F
When it came time to let them out
Bb
Didn't whisper, didn't shout

Chorus:
Ebmaj7
Words can't reveal
Dm7
Moments so real
Gm7            F
Just an eye through the curtain
Em              Ebm
And I'm finally certain it's true
Cm7           F
The end belongs to you
Bb
 
Verse 2:
Gm7
Despite your fight it's through
Cm7
And like a whistled melody
F
You'll keep coming back to me
Bb
But at the end of your song
Gm7
I could not sing along
Cm7
Turned my face to the window
C
Meanwhile your crescendo behind
F/A             F
First over the line
Bb
 
[Instrumental]
Ebmaj7    Dm7
Gm7    F    Em    Ebm
Cm7    F    Bb
 
Verse 3:
Gm7
What belongs to us
Cm7
The body or the dust
F
It's the ashes and the flame
Bb
Keep me looking back again
 
Chorus:
Ebmaj7
And what's left to sing
Dm7
Is a curious thing
Gm7              F
I'm denying the end
Em                Ebm
Though your silent crescendo is true
Cm7           F
The end belongs to you
Bb
 
Outro:
Ebmaj7    Dm7
