[Verse]

Eb                   Ab     Bb      Eb              Ab   Bb
  I was booked for a wedding on the coast of Finistère
Eb            Ab     Bb        Eb               Ab     Bb
After the rehearsal I took a walk down to the harbor
Eb                           Ab         Bb
They say, "This is where the world ends"
Eb                    Ab     Bb
Or maybe where it's beginning
Eb         Ab  Bb       Eb                Ab   Bb
Out on the pier sat the bride on the rail smoking


[Pre-Chorus]

Ab       Gm          Fm         Eb
I wasn't sure if she wanted to talk
         Db7                  G
But she nodded and waved me in
    Ab        Gm     Fm  Eb
Her eyes were on the horizon
  Cm                        Bbsus4  B
I asked how she was feeling


[Chorus]

                  Eb            Bb           Ab             Bb
She said, "Like a five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
Eb           Bb           Ab                 Bb
Ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds French kissing
Eb               Bb           Ab               Bb
Fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
Eb               Bb          Ab               N/C
Twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds vanishing"

[Verse]

Eb                Ab       Bb
Is this where the world ends?
   Eb                  Ab    Bb
Or is it where it's beginning?
Eb          Ab   Bb       Eb                  Ab    Bb
You open one door to find all the other doors closing
Eb                    Ab   Bb
I said, "Marry and regret it
Eb               Ab    Bb
Don't marry, regret it too
Eb            Ab         Bb
Whether you marry or you don't
       Eb                  Ab    Bb
Either way you'll wish you hadn't


[Pre-Chorus]

Ab     Gm                Fm     Eb
    We laughed and she dried a tear
          Db7              G
We walked back to the town front
     Ab         Gm           Fm           Eb
And later that night I sang "You Are the Light"
    Cm                Bsus4    B
We all danced and got drunk


[Chorus]
                  Eb            Bb           Ab             Bb
She said, "Like a five-year-old watching the ten-year-olds shoplifting
Eb           Bb           Ab                 Bb
Ten-year-old watching the fifteen-year-olds French kissing
Eb               Bb           Ab               Bb
Fifteen-year-old watching the twenty-year-olds chain-smoking
Eb               Bb          Ab                   Eb
Twenty-year-old watching the thirty-year-olds vanishing"

[Bridge]

Ab            Abmaj7
Oh, please, distract me
     Ebmaj7      Fm7
From every life unlived
Ab                   Fm7
Every path I haven't taken
    Cm7                     Bbsus4
The heart's still a little kid
