C Em
I can't keep a straight face and say, "This is not the end."
Am F G C
Not if you want it; it's upon us and I wanna say, "It's sinking in."
(Heavy Strumming)
C Em
Am F G C
C Em
This may sound crazy, but I want to come back home!
Am F G C
That's it, I said it; now I'm sailing off to Neverland, and then Japan.
C F C G
So, think real slow.
F C G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no;
F C G
About the way you want to go;
F Em C
Cause, I may forget the way to get back home!
C Em
This is the end; if you want it!
C
This is the end!
C Em
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost,
Am F G C
Yeah, I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely, just shrug off.
C Em
I took the fire-escape and made it out alive!
Am F G C
Yeah, I still burn from time to time, but I've a healing hand against my side.
C F C G
So, think real slow.
F C G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no;
F C G
About the way you want to go;
F Em C
Cause, I may forget the way to get back home!
C Em
This is the end; if you want it!
C Em
This is the end; if you want it!
C
This is the end!!!

---------------Capo 5------------------------------------------------------------|
(Relatively gentle strumming or plucking)
C Em
I can't keep a straight face and say, "This is not the end"
Am F G C
Not if you want it, it's upon us and I wanna say, "It's sinking in."
C Em
If I was hasty, maybe I was rushed along;
Am F G C
I won't move into little boxes, and then not get the itch to move on.
C F C G
So, think real slow.
F C G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no.
F C G
Melting prints of grass, and snow;
F G C
Means, I may forget the way to get back home.
C Em
Cause this is the end; if you want it.
C
This is the end.
C Em
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved, and lost.
Am F G C
Yeah, I've thought worse things, that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off.
C F C G
You'll take me home;
F C G
Like my family did, my father did, I know.
F C G
You'll think real slow;
F G C (Em)
But don't forget the speed that I can go, away.
C Em
Cause this is the end if you want it
C
This is the- I've,
C G C Am
Been convincing myself, that I'm worthwhile;
F G C
'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be!
C G C Am
Been convincing myself, that I'm worthwhile;
F G C
'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be-
C Em
I met the devil, and I stared her in the eyes,
Am F G Em
Her hair had scales like silver serpents; I, a statue, stood there mesmerized.
C Em
I took the fire escape and made it out alive!
Am F G C
Yeah, I still burn from time to time, but I've a healing hand against my side.
F C G
Blisters on my feet; I crawl back home,
F C G
Frozen, from the sleet burned sand, and stones.
F C G
Nourished back to life, by life, alone;
F G Em
With one shake of the mane, regain, the throne...
The song is meant to feel unresolved.
To have it sound resolved, just play C at "throne" instead
