πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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

Once upon a time, you left me hangin' from your words

Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky

Where did the end of it go
Am
No one can ever know
