(Play intro riff once)
G - G/f# - C - C

VERSE:
G         G/f#           C
Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard
     G        G/f#        C  
The cigarette streaming into the night
G              G/f#          C
These are the things that I want to remember
  G        G/f#        C
I want to remember you by

CHORUS:
         Am     Em
It won't come again
    D           C    Am  G D
Cos love is the end
   Am     Em
Oh no, my friend
D           C    Am  G D
Love is the end

VERSE:(repeat riff over this verse)
  G           G/f#          C
I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
G            G/f#        C
Looking for somewhere to start a-new
    G          G/f#        C
And when I was drowning in that holy water
G            G/f#         C
All I could think of was you

CHORUS:
   Am     Em
Woah, my friend
D           C    Am  G D
Love is the end
        Am     Em
So lets not pretend
    D           C    Am  G D
Cos love is the end

BRIDGE:
D                   Em     C
Take it back, don't let it die
   D       G         C  
Or rage against the fallen night
    D              Em     C
Cos I still do, depend on you
         D         G          C  
So don't say those words, you wrung me through

CHORUS:
   Am     Em
Woah,  oh oh
D           C    Am  G D
Love is the end
        Am     Em
So lets not pretend
    D           C    Am  G D
Cos love is the end

INSTRUMENTAL:
G - G/f# - Em - Dsus4  x2

OUTRO:
    G     G/f#          Em
And so I tread the only road
    Dsus4        G
The only road I know
           G/f#    Em
Nowhere to go, but home
   Dsus4
Nowhere to go
   G       G/f#
Maybe our time is up
    Em        Dsus4
But still you can't look back
    G       G/f#           Em
But all the principles of love
      Dsus4                G  G/f#   Em
Don't say those words
      Dsus4                 G
Don't say those words
      G/f#          Em
Don't say those words
      Dsus4          G/f#      G
Don't say those words

End on G.
