Where The World Ends

G                                      B7
Seventeen, back when we used to know everything

Hanging at the corner store
   Em                  C
We believed we ran the town
    G                     D
We even had our very own couch at the coffee shop
 G                                        B7
Holding hands on the way to after school marching band
                                             Em
Skipping stones and telling jokes to hide the fact
             C
I wanted you bad
    G                  D
Oh but I never could find the right thing to say

[Pre-Chorus]
G          B7     C
Love could be in vain
D
Or maybe baby then again
G        B7         C
I could change your name
D
But only if you wanted it
G           B7       C    D
Life would stay the same
       G           B7           C           D
Except everything, everything, everything
N.C.
Would be different

[Chorus]
G           D
High school halls
          Em        C
Yearbook pictures, trophy walls
G
Punks, jocks, and preppy kids
D
Know-it-alls
      Em
Prom kings and pregnant girls
D
Parking lots
G        D          C        D
This is where we’d swear the world ended

[Verse 2]
G                                            B7
Twenty-six, finding out how little I give a shit
                             Em
About the catastrophes and dramatics
             C
We had back then
  G                              D
Cause now I only see it when it shows up on the Internet
G                                             B7
Jane’s got kids, Mark’s done three years in a five-to-ten
                                       Em
Hey, looks like you’re getting hitched again
                C
Well that makes sense
 G
I hope it works out this time
 D
As for me, I’m doing fine

[Pre-Chorus]
G          B7     C
Love could be in vain
D
Or maybe baby then again
G        B7         C
I could change your name
D
But only if you wanted it
G           B7       C    D
Life would stay the same
       G           B7           C           D
Except everything, everything, everything
N.C.
Would be different

[Chorus]
G           D

          Em        C
