Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
F C G
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
C G Am
We've all been there once, but you never left
F G
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends
C G Am
I'm not leaving this place
F C G
Unless I'm leaving with you
C G Am Em
You're the only person with a half decent heart here
F G
And I know you will put it to use

Until it's gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

C G Am
So Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
F C G
We had a heart-to-heart about life
C G Am Em
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
F G
If we wanted to outlive that night
C G Am
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
F C G
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
C G Am Em
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
F(Single Strum) G
What a wonderful world this could be!

C(Single Strum) G Am
So, how many more examples until we break?
F C G
How many sacrifices must we make?
C G
We've all been there once before
Am Em
And it looks like we've returned once more
F G
So is this the beginning or the end?
C ('Palm Muted') G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Am
Survivors of the war
F C G
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
C G
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
Am Em
So somehow bring him home.
F G
How did it come to this?"
C(Single Strum) G
So the soldiers lift their rifles
Am
And they're aiming at the head
F C G
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
C G Am Em
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
F G
"How did it come to this?"
