Am                     Am/B     E
The end, it shouldn't end like this
Am                     Am/B  E
it's the bottle she is merciless
Am                 Am/B  E
she's stringing me along
Am                 Am/B  E
she's stringing me along

    Am        Am/B   E      Am
And how could such a palace house
Am/B       E         Am
deceit and malice
        Am/B          E       Am
there's something wrong here
        Am/B          E
there's something wrong here

       E     E    E7
As the words were chosen
    E     E    E7
his heart was frozen
    E    E    E7
his soul had spoken
       E       E   E7          E7
but it sounded all twisted and broken

Am        Am/B  E
Years and years ago
      Am           Am/B  E
they delivered the final blow
    Am           Am/B        E      Am      Am/B    E
and suddenly his life ain't worth a damn

           Am
There were ghosts
         Am/B         E
and they lit up this town
         Am
but they left
          Am/B         E       Am
when they sold off the underground
         Am/B    E       Am      Am/B    E
we ain't welcome here no more

       E     E    E7
As the words were chosen
    E     E    E7
his heart was frozen
    E    E    E7
his soul had spoken
       E       E   E7          E7
but it sounded all twisted and broken

Am         Am/B    E
I, I won't let you down
        Am        Am/B    E
it's my first day back in town
       Am               Am/B    E
but my skin is six feet underground
    Am            Am/B      E
and everything is different now

    Am                Am/B     E
The end, it shouldn't end like this
         Am             Am/B   E
it's the bottle, she is merciless
      Am           Am/B   E
she's stringing me along
      Am           Am/B   E
she's stringing me along again

As the words were chosen

his heart was frozen

his soul had spoken
