• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Am

🎸 Verse 1:
Am G   D7  E7 Fmaj7
How thoughtless of me
C G  F  C  E7
How dumb can you be
F        Dm      Am
Hopeless, wasn't that what you called me
    D
And in fact
    C Cmaj7 Am D7    E7
It was even more true than you knew


🎸 Chorus 1:
N.C.              Am
Where did the end of the rope go
D7         Am
I forget now, did I let go
F         Dm       Bdim7
After you left me hangin' on your words
   Bdim7
Which hung down like a rope
E7  N.C.        Am D7
Where did the end of it go
      Am  N.C.
I'll never know


🎸 Verse 2:
Am   G D7    E7  Fmaj7
You're gone, but I'm still there
C G  F C  E7
Clawing at the air
     F      Dm
Now it's curtains for me
     Am     D
And I'll spend eternity
   C   Cmaj7 Am  D7   E7
Doing joyless cartwheels in the void


🎸 Chorus 2:
N.C.              Am
Where did the end of the rope go
D7         Am
I forget now, did I let go
F           Dm       Bdim7
Long ago, you left me hangin' on your words
   Bdim7
Which hung down like a rope from the sky
E7  N.C.        Am D7
Where did the end of it go
     Am     N.C.
No one can ever know

Where did the end of the rope go

F               Dm
Once upon a time, you left me hangin' from your words
      Bdim7
Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky
E7  N.C.        Am D7
Where did the end of it go
     Am
No one can ever know
