why do you cry when you know how the story ends?

F C G
how can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?

C G Am Em
we’ve all been there once , but you never left

F G
this is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye , to make amends

C G Am
i’m not leaving this place

F C G
unless i’m leaving with you

C G Am Em
cause you’re the only person with a half decent heart here

F G
and i know you will put it to use

C G Am
until it’s gone , gone , gone

C Am F G x2

C G Am
me and mr . dylan on the ride home

F C G
we had a heart – to – heart about life

C G Am Em
but neither him or me could decide for ourselves

F G
if we wanted to outlive that night

C G Am
like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

F C G
abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

C G Am Em
if only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

F G
what a wonderful world this could be!

C Am F G

C Am F G

C G Am
so , how many more examples until we break?

F C G
so how many sacrifices must we make?

C G
because we’ve all been there once before

Am Em
and it looks like we’ve returned once more

F G
so is this the beginning or the end?

C G
the last two soldiers on the battlefield

Am
survivors of the war

F C G
they aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

C G
“if you’re listening , i’m missing him

Am Em
so somehow bring him home .

F G
how did it come to this?”

C G
so the soldiers lift their rifles

Am
and they’re aiming at the head

F C G
they think of their first love before they take their final breath

C G Am Em
and somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said :

F G
“how did it come to this?”
