World Without End

INTRO: F  C  Dm  C  F

                     C                     Dm
It's a world without end, that's what they told us
                    C                  F
Your last breath is not what it seems
         C                               Dm
Forever amen, sounds like something they sold us
             C                     F
To keep us enslaved to our dreams


                Am             Dm
So close yet so far, you never rest
                    C               F
Everything you've invested is gone
              Am                     Dm
You wish on a star, yeah you do your best
                        C                    F
'Cause you know in your chest it's all wrong


CHORUS:
              C               Dm
World without end, looking to find
               Am        C     F
Something to believe in again
              C               Dm
World without end, travelling blind
             Am    C
Trying to pretend
                     F    C  Dm  C  F
It's a world without end


            C                       Dm
Crown of creation, that's what they call us
            C               F
A vain declaration, I fear
                  C                   Dm
Bowed down to temptation, what will befall us
                  C                  F
When something so wicked draws near?


          Am                 Dm
Beauty on trial, the jury is hung
               C               F
The vultures begin to descend
            Am                   Dm
The coyotes smile, the damage is done
                   C                  F
There's nowhere to run to, my friend


CHORUS:
              C               Dm
World without end, looking to find
               Am        C     F
Something to believe in again
              C               Dm
World without end, travelling blind
             Am    C
Trying to pretend
                     F
It's a world without end


INSTRUMENTAL: C  Dm  C  F  C  Dm  C  F


                Am                    Dm
And now here we stand, so blessed and cursed
                    C                    F
Looking back on the rivers we've crossed
                 Am                   Dm
Our lines in the sand, our fortunes reversed
                    C                   F
Wondering if it was worth what was lost


CHORUS:
              C               Dm
World without end, looking to find
               Am        C     F
Something to believe in again
              C               Dm
World without end, travelling blind
             Am    Dm
Trying to pretend
                     Am   C
It's a world without end
              F
World without end
