C Am
we hereby conduct this post mortem..
Em G
he was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsman..
C Am
our maladies were such we could not cure them..
Em G
and so a touch that was my birthright
became foreign..
Chorus
C G D C
come one, come all, it's happening again
G D C
the empathetic hunger descends
G D C
we'll tell no one except all of our friends
G D (C)
we must know, how did it end?
Int. C Am Em G
o o.. o o.. uo.. uo..
C Am
we were blind to unforeseen circumstances..
Em G
we learned the right steps to different dances..
C Am
and fell victim to interlopers' glances..
Em G
lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
C Am
soon they'll go home to their husbands
Em
smug cause they know they can trust him
G
then feverishly calling their cousins..
Chorus
C G D C
guess who we ran into at the shops
G D C
walking in circles like she was lost
G D C
didn't you hear they called it all off
G D (Am)
one gasp and then how did it end?
Int. Am D Em C
Am D Em C
Am D
say it once again with feeling
Em
how the death rattle breathing
C
silenced as the soul was leaving
Am
the deflation of our dreaming
D
leaving me bereft and reeling
Em C
my beloved ghost and me sitting in a tree
(C)
d-y-i-n-g
C G D C
it's happening again
G D C
how did it end?
G D C G
i can't pretend like i understand
D (C)
how did it end?
Chorus
C G D C
come one, come all, it's happening again
G D C
the empathetic hunger descends
G D C
we'll tell no one except all of our friends
G D C
but i still don't know how did it end?
