[Primeira Parte]

E        C#m
 We hereby conduct this post-mortem
G#m             B
 He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsmen
E           C#m
 Our maladies were such, we could not cure them
G#m                  B
 And so a touch that was my birth right became foreign

[Refrão]

 A    E
 Come one come all
 B      C#m       A
 It’s happening again
     E  B   C#m
 The empathetic hunger descends
 A        E
 We’ll tell no-one
 B   C#m          A
 'Cept all of our friends
    E  B  E
 We must know how did it end?

( E  C#m  G#m  B )

[Segunda Parte]

 E             C#m
 We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
G#m              B
 We learn the right stеps to different dances
E              C#m
 And fеll victim to interlopers glances
G#m           B
 Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
E
 Soon they’ll go home to their husbands
C#m
 Smug ’cause they know they can trust him
G#m                       B
 Then feverishly calling their cousins (Oh, oh)

[Refrão]

A  E     B   C#m
 Guess who we ran into at the shops?
A   E     B    C#m      B    A
 Walking in circles like she was lost
A    E        B      C#m      B   A
 Didn’t you hear?  They called it all off
A     E    B
 One gasp and then
B
 How did it end?

( E  C#m  G#m  B )

[Ponte]

A               B
 Say it once again with feeling how the death rattle
 C#m                        E
 Breathing, silenced as the soul was leaving
              A
 The deflation of our dreaming
             B
 Leaving me bereft and reeling
            C#m
 My beloved ghost and me
          E
 Sitting in a tree
    A   E
 D-y-i-n-g

[Refrão]

B        C#m        A E
 It’s happening again
B  C#m     B    A  E
  How did it end?
B   C#m          A   E       B
 I can’t pretend like I understand
B         A
  How did it end?
 A   E
 Come one come all
 B      C#m    Bm     A
 It’s happening again
    E   B   C#m    B
 The empathetic hunger descends
A         E     B
 We’ll tell no-one
    C#m       B      A
 'Cept all of our friends
A         E          B      E
 But I still don’t know how did it end?
