E C#m G#m B
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
E C#m
We hereby conduct this post-mortem
G#m B
He was a hothouse 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
A E B C#m B
Come one, come all, it's happening again
A E B C#m B
The empathetic hunger descends
A E B C#m B
Will tell no one, except all of our friends
A E B C#m B
We must know: How did it end?
E C#m G#m B
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
E C#m
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
G#m B
We learned the right steps to diffеrent dances
E C#m
And fell victim to intеrlopers' 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)
A E B C#m B
Guess who we ran into at the shops?
A E B C#m B
Walking in circles like she was lost
A E B C#m B
Didn't you hear? They called it all off
A E B C#m B
One gasp, and then: How did it end?
A B
Say it once again with feeling
C#m
How the death rattle breathing
E
Silenced as the soul was leaving
A
The deflation of our dreaming
B
Leaving me bereft and reeling
