E C#m G#m B
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)
E          C#m
We hereby conduct this post-mortem
G#m                   B
He was a hothouse flower to my outdoorsmen
E                   C#m
Our maladies were such we could not cure them
G#m                         B
And so a touch that was my birth right became foreign

A         E          B   C#m  B
Come one, come all, it's happening again
A         E          B   C#m  B
The empathetic hunger descends
A         E          B   C#m  B
Will tell no one, except all of our friends
A         E          B   C#m  B
We must know: How did it end?
 E C#m G#m B
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)

E                C#m
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
G#m                   B
We learned the right steps to diffеrent dances
E                    C#m
And fell victim to intеrlopers' glances
G#m                B
Lost the game of chance, what are the chances?
E
Soon they'll go home to their husbands
C#m
Smug 'cause they know they can trust him
G#m                                     B
Then feverishly calling their cousins (oh, oh)

A         E          B   C#m  B
Guess who we ran into at the shops?
A         E          B   C#m  B
Walking in circles like she was lost
A         E          B   C#m  B
Didn't you hear? They called it all off
A         E          B   C#m  B
One gasp, and then: How did it end?

A                      B
Say it once again with feeling
                     C#m
How the death rattle breathing
                         E
Silenced as the soul was leaving
                      A
The deflation of our dreaming
                      B
Leaving me bereft and reeling
                     C#m
My beloved ghost and me
                E
Sitting in a tree
        A  E  B
D-y-i-n-g

B     C#m      B     A  E  B
It's happening again
B     C#m      B  A  E  B
How did it end?
B     C#m      B     A  E  B
I can't pretend like I understand
C#m      B
How did it end?

A         E          B   C#m  B
Come one, come all, it's happening again
A         E          B   C#m  B
The empathetic hunger descends
A         E          B   C#m  B
Will tell no one, except all of our friends
A         E          B   C#m  B
But I still don't know: How did it end?
