🎶 How Did It End?

[Em]We hereby conduct [Eb]this post-mortem
[Bb]He was a hot house[Db] flower to my outdoorsmen
[Em]Our maladies were such [Eb]we could not cure them
[Bb]And so a touch that was my birthright became [Db]foreign

[Em]Come one, come all
[Eb]It's happenin' again
The [Bb]empathetic [Db]hunger descends
[Em]We'll tell no one
[Eb]Except all of our friends
[Bb]We must know
[Db]How did it end?[Em]
(Uh-[Eb]oh,[Bb] uh-oh)[Db]

[Em]We were blind to unforeseen [Eb]circumstances
[Bb]We learned thе right steps to different [Db]dancеs (Oh, oh-oh)
[Em]And fell victim to [Eb]interloper's glances
[Bb]Lost the game of chance, [Db]what are the chances?
[Em]Soon, they'll go home to their husbands
[Eb]Smug 'cause they know they can trust him
[Bb]Then feverishly calling their cousins [Db](Oh, oh)

[Em]Guess who we ran into [Eb]at the shops?
[Bb]Walking in circles [Db]like she was lost
[Em]Didn't you hear?
[Eb]They called it all off
[Bb]One gasp and then
[Db]How did it end?[Em] [Eb] [Bb] [Db]
[Em] [Eb] [Bb] [Db]
[Em]Say it once again with feeling
[Eb]How the death rattle breathing
[Bb]Silenced as the soul was leaving
[Db]The deflation of our dreaming
[Em]Leaving me bereft and reeling
[Eb]My beloved ghost and me
[Bb]Sitting in a tree
[Em]D-Y-I-N-G

[Em]It's happenin' again
[Db]How did it end?[Em] [Eb]
[Bb]I can't pretend like I understand
[Db]How did it end?

[Em]Come one, come all
[Eb]It's happenin' again
The [Bb]empathetic [Db]hunger descends
[Em]We'll tell no one
[Eb]Except all of our friends
[Bb]But I still don't know
[Db]How did it end?⠀
