End Of The Race by Willy Mason
End Of The Race
C#min A B
when they came in the night,
E C#min
they said we take what we like
A B E C#min
i said i wish you well, but i've been living like hell
A B E C#min
i don't have what you need, but i can tell you what i see
A B
i close my eyes to go to sleep,
E C#min
i feel a gun pressed to my cheek
C#min
i see the ocean rolling fast, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min
see it swallow up the past, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min
see the hands empty at last, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min A
but all you ask me all you ask, all you ask all you ask
C#min
what have you got for me???????
E C#min
you knew that this day was coming on,
A B
i woke at first daylight
E C#min
the sun still shining just as bright,
A B
as yesterday when it seemed
E C#min
the world could end inside a dream
A B
i put on boots and went outside
E C#min
the enemy is still shooting wide
A B
if they'd believe what i see
E C#min
they wouldn't shoot so thoughtlessly
C#min
i see the ocean..............................
A C#min
what have you got for me????
E
you knew that this day was coming
B
so why didn't you start running
C#min A
your hands are now too full to get a way
E
and this ain't gonna stop till something
B
cures you of all your wanting
C#min A
until you lose what you won't give away
E B C#min
its time to make peace with this place
E B C#min
call this the end of the race
