🎸 Intro:
D# Cm Gm A#
🎸 Verse 1:
D# Cm
We hereby conduct this post-mortem
Gm A#
He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsmen
D# Cm
Our maladies were such, we could not cure them
Gm A#
And so a touch that was my birth right became foreign
🎸 Chorus:
D#
Come one come all
A# F D#
It’s happening again
F D#
The empathetic hunger descends
We’ll tell no-one
A# F D#
'Cept all of our friends
F
We must know how did it end?
D# Cm Gm A#
🎸 Verse 2:
D# Cm
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
Gm A#
We learn the right stеps to different dances
D# C
And fеll victim to interlopers glances
Gm A#
Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
D#
Soon they’ll go home to their husbands
Cm
Smug ’cause they know they can trust him
Gm A#
Then feverishly calling their cousins (Oh, oh)
🎸 Chorus:
D# A#
Guess who we ran into at the shops?
D# A# F
Walking in circles like she was lost
D#
Didn’t you hear?
A# F
They called it all off
D#
One gasp and then
A# F
How did it end?
Cm F Gm D#
🎸 Bridge:
Cm F
Say it once again with feeling how the death rattle
Gm D#
Breathing, silenced as the soul was leaving
Cm
The deflation of our dreaming
F
Leaving me bereft and reeling
Gm
My beloved ghost and me
D#
Sitting in a tree
D#
D-Y-I-N-F
🎸 Chorus:
A# F D#
It’s happening again
A# F D#
How did it end?
A# F D#
I can’t pretend like I understand
A# F D#
How did it end?
D#
Come one come all
A# F D#
It’s happening again
F D#
The empathetic hunger descends
We’ll tell no-one
A# F D#
'Cept all of our friends
A# F D#
But I still don’t know how did it end?
