C majorC            G+G         A minorAm
Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?

FF             C majorC             G+G
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?

C majorC          G+G          A minorAm     E minorEm
We've all been there once, but you never left

FF                 G+G
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends

C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
 I'm not leaving this place

FF     C majorC      G+G
Unless I'm leaving with you

   C majorC        G+G       A minorAm     E minorEm
Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart here

FF             G+G
And I know you will put it to use

      C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
Until it's gone, gone, gone

FF   C majorC   G+G
Gone, gone, gone

C majorC   G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm  FF   G+G
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC      G+G           A minorAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

          FF
I hope you think of me, yeah

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

      C majorC      G+G
And if you go, I'll be gone

  A minorAm       FF         C majorC       G+G
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

   A minorAm       FF        C majorC        G+G
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

     A minorAm        FF        C majorC
You were always meant for me and you will see

G+G

       C majorC   A minorAm   FF    G+G
that you're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

C majorC    A minorAm    FF    G+G x2

C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home

     FF    C majorC      G+G
We had a heart-to-heart about life

  C majorC       G+G      A minorAm      E minorEm
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves

   FF           G+G
If we wanted to outlive that night

      C majorC       G+G        A minorAm
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

FF        C majorC        G+G
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

  C majorC      G+G        A minorAm        E minorEm
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

     FF            G+G
What a wonderful world this could be!

C majorC    G+G    A minorAm

FF    C majorC    G+G

C majorC    G+G    A minorAm    E minorEm

FF    G+G

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC      G+G            A minorAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

          FF
I hope you think of me, yeah

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm         FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

      C majorC      G+G
And if you go, I'll be gone

  A minorAm       FF         C majorC       G+G
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

   A minorAm       FF         C majorC       G+G
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

     A minorAm       FF        C majorC
You were always meant for me and you will see

G+G

       C majorC  A minorAm   FF   G+G
that you're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

    C majorC  A minorAm  FF   G+G
You're impossible

  C majorC       G+G        A minorAm
So, how many more examples until we break?

  FF       C majorC      G+G
So how many sacrifices must we make?

   C majorC           G+G
Because we've all been there once before

    A minorAm         E minorEm
And it looks like we've returned once more

    FF            G+G
So is this the beginning or the end?

       C majorC         G+G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield

A minorAm
Survivors of the war

   FF               C majorC        G+G
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

        C majorC     G+G
"If you're listening, I'm missing him

  A minorAm        E minorEm
So somehow bring him home.

FF          G+G
How did it come to this?"

     C majorC         G+G
So the soldiers lift their rifles

       A minorAm
And they're aiming at the head

   FF                   C majorC        G+G
They think of their first love before they take their final breath

   C majorC        G+G         A minorAm        E minorEm
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:

FF          G+G
"How did it come to this?"

FF   E MajorE   FF

C majorC   G+G   A minorAm  FF

C majorC   G+G   A minorAm  FF

C majorC      G+G           A minorAm
