{Vers 1}

     D                               Bb
     Run           Is this to be our fate?
     D                               Bb 
     Hide         Freedom is ours as long as we escape
     G                               Bb 
                 We walk in the shadows
     G                               Bb  C
We do         for now, but we all know     our time is near



{Chorus}        

Dm                      Gm
       If this is the way it ends
C                       A       
   Don't tell me it's meaningless
Bb                      Dm      
       There'll be no compromise
Gm                      A       
       We fall and we too shall rise
Dm                      Gm      
     You held me and taught me how
C                       A       
         I think I am ready now
Bb                      F       
       If this is the way it ends
Gm                      A       
          This is the way it's meant to be



{Vers 2}

Dm                              Bb      
          We will be spelled in blood
Dm                              Bb      
       And this is the way that they'll remember us
G                               Bb      G
           Emerge from the shadows...we will
                                Bb  C   
           Emerge from the shadows


        
{Chorus}        

Dm                      Gm
       If this is the way it ends
C                       A       
   Don't tell me it's meaningless
Bb                      Dm      
       There'll be no compromise
Gm                      A       
       We fall and we too shall rise
Dm                      Gm      
     You held me and taught me how
C                       A       
         I think I am ready now
Bb                      F       
       If this is the way it ends
Gm                      A       
          This is the way it's meant to be



{Bridge}

Bb                              Dm      
      Under my skin they fade a|wa|y                            C   
                                                               |He|re's to life with no regrets

Bb                              A
                     Can anyone ever really say
Dm                      F        Bb C
          This is the way it ends
Dm                      F        Bb A
           This is my life begins



{Chorus}

Dm                      Gm
       If this is the way it ends
C                       A       
           nothing is meaningless

       We fall and we too shall rise
Dm                      Gm

     Than this is the way it's meant to be
Bb                      F       
       If this is the way it ends
Gm                      A                Dm
          This is the way it's meant to be
