The End
Pearl Jam

(It is played in F Sharp on the album, but it is too high for me to sing. If you want 
the original feeling, just transpose 1 tone higher)


E
What were all those dreams we shared
     A              E
Those many years ago?
E
What were all those plans we made now
A                 E
Left beside the road?
A                  E
Behind us in the road

E
More than friends, I always pledged
       A                    E
Cause friends they come and go
E
People change, as does everything
A                 E
I wanted to grow old
A                    E
I just want to grow old

E        A        E
Slide up next to me
      A           F#
I'm just a human being
A                  C#m
I will take the blame
               B
But just the same
             A
This is not me
        A
You see?
        A
Believe
                A
I'm better than this
        E   A       E
Don't leave me so cold
        A                F#
I'm buried beneath the stones
     A            C#m
I just want to hold on
     B                 A
I know I'm worth your love
      A
Enough
             A
I don't think
                       E
There's such a thing

         E
It's my fault now, having caught
       A           E
a sickness in my bones
        E
How it pains to leave you here
            A         E
With the kids on your own
      A           E
Just don't let me go

E       A        E
Help me see myself
     A                  F#
Cause I can no longer tell
 A                     C#m
Looking out from the inside
        B           A
Of the bottom of a well
        A
It's hell
      A
I yell
        A         E      A       E
But no one hears before I disappear
  A           F#
whisper in my ear
   A                  C#m
Give me something to echo
      B                A
In my unknown future's ear

    A
My dear
     A
The end
      A
Comes near
      A
I'm here
                    (E)
But not much longer
