Em G Em Am Em

[Verse 1]
  Am                 Em           Am
There it goes, that old familiar way
              F              Em   F G
a year flies on the winter wind, oh
    Am                      Em
The leaves are blown right from the branch,
   Am                 F            Em  F G
I turn around, the avalanche comes in, oh
      F            G                 Am
It’s hard to see beyond this dark December
     F          G            Am
But I’ve been trying to remember



[Chorus]
 Am                F
The end is the beginning
 Am                        F
The world don’t stop its spinning
 Am              Bm             G
Just because you close another door
  Am                 F
And every ceiling’s just a floor
 Am                       F
In this life that we are living
 Am                F
Changing is the hardest part
     G               Am
You say goodbye and then
          Em
You start all over again


[Post-Chorus]
G
Because
    F                            Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am                     G
 is the beginning is the end is the beginning, the end
     F         Am      Em
The end, the end, the end


[Verse 2]
  Am               Em
Lately I’ve been thinking more
   F                 Am             Em     F G
About the things we have to leave behind, oh
 Am                  Em             F
And all the songs we sing into the night,
      Am             Em     F G
The hymns and the lullabies, oh
   F                 G             Am
I don’t know why I run away from closure
       F              G       Am
When nothing’s ever really over


[Chorus]
 Am                F
The end is the beginning
 Am                        F
The world don’t stop its spinning
 Am              Bm             G
Just because you close another door
  Am                 F
And every ceiling’s just a floor
 Am                       F
In this life that we are living
 Am                F
Changing is the hardest part
     G               Am
You say goodbye and then
          Em
You start all over again


[Post-Chorus]
G
Because
    F                            Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am                      G
is the beginning is the end is the beginning, the end
     F         Am      Em
The end, the end, the end

    F                            Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am                      G
is the beginning is the end is the beginning, the end
     F         Am      Em
The end, the end, the end


[Bridge]
G            Em          Am       F
When I was young I used to wonder
G            Em          Am       F
If what goes up comes back from under
G            Em          Am       F
It’s easier as I get older
               F                  G
To see that nothing’s ever really over


[Chorus]
 Am                F
The end is the beginning
 Am                        F
The world don’t stop its spinning
 Am              Bm             G
Just because you close another door
  Am            G
There´s always more
 Am                       F
In this life that we are living
 Am                F
Changing is the hardest part
     G               Am
You say goodbye and then
          Em
You start all over again


[Post-Chorus]
G
Because
    F                            Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am                      G
is the beginning is the end is the beginning, the end
     F         Am      Em
The end, the end, the end

    F                            Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am                      G
is the beginning is the end is the beginning, the end
     F         Am      Em
The end, the end, the end
 G            Am           F
We start all over again because
     F                          Am
The end is the beginning is the end is the beginning
 F                         Am
is the beginning is the end is the beginning ...
