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
