Am                               F
Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,
C              G                Am
Thinking about all these wasted years.
Am                              F
Everything worth living for is gone,
C                  G                    Am
Brother, I find it hard to keep fighting on.

Am                         F
Falling down towards the abyss,(the abyss)
C                   G           Am
The reaper embraces me with his kiss;
Am                     F
It makes me want to refuse to care, (refuse to care)
C                  G                   Am
To watch this all unfold - too much to bear.

[Chorus]
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness


[Verse 2]
Am                                 F
Disease encroaching on all I hold dear
C                       G          Am
Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here
Am                             F
Heart of agony, faint burning hope
C               G              Am
I'm finding it hard to try to cope
Am                                              F 
The cause liars own the world with conquering poise, conquering poise
       C              G        Am
In a wasteland of meaningless noise
Am                                         F 
We don't stand a chance with the dormant pride, with the dormant pride
      C            G                 Am
The heroes of our race have already died

[Chorus]
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness


[Verse 3]
Am                                  F
To imagine it has all come down to this
C             G       Am
Apathy and suicidal bliss
Am                             F
It's all over except for the cryin'
         C                     G         Am
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion
     Am                     F
The greatest race to ever walk the earth, walk the earth
C              G                Am
Dying a slow death with insane mirth
     Am                       F
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed, our race betrayed
C                     G                  Am
White man, fight the flight towards the grave

[Chorus]
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
C                      G      C                     F
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
C                     G      F
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness

[Otro]
C                      G      C                     F
Don’t let it end this way, don’t let it end this way
C                     G      F
Don’t let it end this way, I can’t bare to witness
