C5          G5           A5

F5          C5           G5

C5          G5           A5         E5

F5          G5

C5                       G5                  A5
Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?

F5                          C5                         G5
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?

C5                    G5                   A5          E5
We've all been there once, but you never left 

F5                                  G5               
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends

C5           G5            A5
  I'm not leaving this place

F5          C5            G5
Unless I'm leaving with you

      C5               G5             A5          E5
Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart here

F5                          G5
And I know you will put it to use

           C5     G5     A5
Until it's gone, gone, gone

F5     C5     G5
Gone, gone, gone

C5     G5     A5    E5    F5     G5
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C5            G5                      A5
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

                    F5
I hope you think of me, yeah

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

           C5            G5
And if you go, I'll be gone

    A5              F5                 C5             G5
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

     A5             F5                C5               G5
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

         A5               F5                C5           
You were always meant for me and you will see

G5

             C5     A5     F5       G5
that you're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

C5       A5        F5        G5 x2


C5          G5            A5
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home

         F5        C5           G5
We had a heart-to-heart about life

    C5              G5           A5           E5
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves 

      F5                      G5
If we wanted to outlive that night

           C5              G5                A5
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

F5                C5               G5
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

   C5            G5                A5                E5
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

         F5                        G5
What a wonderful world this could be!

C5       G5       A5

F5       C5       G5

C5       G5       A5       E5

F5       G5

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C5           G5                       A5
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

                    F5
I hope you think of me, yeah

C5
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G5
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A5                  F5 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

           C5           G5
And if you go, I'll be gone

    A5              F5                 C5             G5
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please

     A5             F5                 C5              G5
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you

          A5              F5                C5            
You were always meant for me and you will see

G5

             C5    A5      F5      G5
that you're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

        C5    A5    F5      G5
You're impossible

    C5              G5                A5
So, how many more examples until we break?
 
   F5              C5            G5
So how many sacrifices must we make?

      C5                      G5
Because we've all been there once before

        A5                 E5
And it looks like we've returned once more

       F5                        G5
So is this the beginning or the end?

              C5                 G5    
The last two soldiers on the battlefield

A5
Survivors of the war

      F5                             C5               G5
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

                C5         G5
"If you're listening, I'm missing him

    A5                E5
So somehow bring him home.

F5                   G5
How did it come to this?"

          C5                  G5
So the soldiers lift their rifles

             A5
And they're aiming at the head

      F5                                     C5               G5
They think of their first love before they take their final breath

     C5                G5                 A5                E5
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:

F5                    G5
"How did it come to this?"

F5     E5     F5      

C5     G5     A5    F5

C5     G5     A5    F5

C5            G5                      A5
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

                  E5 F5   C5    A5   F5
I hope you think of me, yeah

When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

           F5
I hope you think of me, yeah
