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

Verse
C G
And if you go, I'll be gone
Am F C G
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
Am F C G
But someday you'll agree that I was always meant for you
Am F C G
You were always meant for me and you will see
C Am F G
that you're impossible
C Am F G
You're impossible
C Am F G
You're impossible

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

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