• 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
D7                  Am
I forget now, did I let 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
