[Verse 1]
G Em G D
Back when I was young enough to know from where I came,
Em C Em D G
I saw my love be spat upon and shouted down in shame.
G Em G D
Well I hung my head and shed a tear, when I went to change my name,
Em C Em D G
But his honor told me don't 'cha fear, because it always ends the same.
[Chorus]
G Em G D
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Em C Em D G
Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
[Verse 2]
G Em G D
Well I was feeling so alone, when the congregation sang,
Em C Em D G
Of Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and the price that I would pay.
G Em G D
But the preacher told me not to fear, for they know not what they say,
Em C Em D G
Yeah the history is on your side, and it always ends the same.
[Chorus]
G Em G D
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Em C Em D G
Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
[Verse 3]
G Em G D
Now the fishes on the TV fly, in circles all the same,
Em C Em D G
Like little children terrified of what they can't explain.
G Em G D
But when the suburb and the sky, are both awash in flame,
Em C Em D G
Oh the television won't survive, and it always ends the same.
[Chorus]
G Em G D
It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.
Em C Em D G
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
[Verse 4]
G Em G D
And when I'm finally old enough to learn to play the game,
Em C Em D G
Oh the dinosaurs will roam the earth, and resume their bloody reign.
G Em G D
But when I hear their victory song, I will hum the old refrain,
Em C Em D G
No life can live forever on, and it always ends the same.
[Chorus]
G Em G D
It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.
Em C Em D G
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
G Em G D
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Em C Em D G
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
