Television

G               C               
Back when I was young enough to 
G                 D
know from where I came,
  Em/G           C           
I saw my love be spat upon and 
  Em      D       G
shouted down in shame.
       G                C         
Well I hung my head and shed a 
          G              D
tear, when I went to change my name,
        Em/G          C        
But his honor told me don't 'cha 
                   Em     D    
fear, because it always ends the 
    G
same.

It always ends the same, he said, 
G               D
always ends the same.
    Em/G               C       
Ah, remember dear this too shall 
               Em     D        G
pass, and it always ends the same.

     G             C              
Well I was feeling so alone, when 
    G            D
the congregation sang,

Of Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and 
   Em         D       G
the price that I would pay.
        G                C    
But the preacher told me not to 
                 G               
fear, for they know not what they 
   D
say,
         Em/G       C             
Yeah the history is on your side, 
       Em     D        G
and it always ends the same.

   G           C                  
It always ends the same, he said, 
G               D
always ends the same.
    Em/G               C       
Ah, remember dear this too shall 
               Em     D        G
pass, and it always ends the same.

        G             C          
Now the fishes on the TV fly, in 
G               D
circles all the same,
     Em/G            C            
Like little children terrified by 
Em        D     G
what they can't explain.
    G               C             
But when the suburb and the sky, 
   G             D
are both awash in flame,
       Em/G       C               
Oh the television won't survive, 
      Em     D        G
and it always ends the same.

   G           C                  
It always ends the same, he said, 
G               D
always ends the same.
    Em/G               C       
Ah, remember dear this too shall 
               Em     D        G
pass, and it always ends the same.

    G                C             
And when I'm finally old enough to 
G             D
learn to play the game,
       Em/G           C      
Oh the dinosaurs will roam the 
             Em           D  
earth, and resume their bloody 
    G
reign.
    G                 C           
But when I hear their victory 
         G           D
song, I will hum the old refrain,
   Em/G          C                
No life can live forever on, and 
  Em     D        G
it always ends the same.
