D
We had a go
G
And worked it out
Bm A
Until the bitter end
D
And I suppose
G
I should've known
Bm A
What was waiting 'round the bend
D
I didn't know that kindness was fleeting
Bm
I didn't know that soft could go hard
D
I bet you wonder at the words in your mouth
A
I bet you wonder at the sound
D A Bm
We break the promise
D A G
And we take it back
D A Bm
We move in silence
D A D
This is the end, the end, the end
D
We try, we fail, we crawl
G
We let the pieces fall
Bm
where they may
A
And the picture fades
D
So go on and break my heart
G
It's always been caught off guard
Bm A
In the end, there is nothing left to say
D
And the secrets you keep under your tongue
Bm
Are turning two into no one
D
I bet you wonder at the words in your mouth
A
I bet you wonder at the sound
D A Bm
We break the promise
D A G
And we take it back
D A Bm
We move in silence
D A D
This is the end, the end, the end
Bm
The plane falls,
A D
And it goes on and on in circles, spinning round
Bm A
Let it go, let it go
D Bm
I can't take it with me,
A D
can't take it with you
D A Bm
We break the promise
D A G
And we take it back
D A Bm
We move in silence
D A D
This is the end, the end, the end
D A Bm
We break the promise
D A G
And we take it back
D A Bm
We move in silence
D A D
This is the end, the end, the end
