[Intro  ]
D D F D D  


[Verso 1]
 
                     F# 
I've seen this all before 
                   
When I was just a child. 
                  F#                               
I met a witch who took a bow and showed me how it ended. 
                     F# 
We stood here on the shore. 
                       
The air was sweet and mild, 
     C#m       F#          Em      
With disbelief implausibly suspended. 
    C#m           D#           G#m 
And in my child's imagination, I remember you; 
C#m              F#                
Though, I didn't know if we were foes or friends. 
    C#m                 D# 
But now you're standing here, 
          G#m           Em 
I see the vision coming clear. 
                       F# 
I know exactly how this ends. 
 


[Refrão]
 
It ends with you 
             C# 
It ends with me 
            Em                                   
It ends the way a story's ending is supposed to be 
      C#     Em 
A bit insane, 
               D 
A touch of pain, 
        C#m 
Adeptly told, 
         F# 
Yet uncontrolled, 
              
It ends with faith 
             C# 
It ends with love 
             Em                          
It ends with water in the river and the sun above 
          C#   Em 
Part epic tale 
          D#m  Dm 
Part fire sale 
           C#m  F#m 
But all sincere 
             E     
And standing here 
 


[Verso 2]
 
  E 
I know I wasn't perfect, 
  C#m 
I know my life was small, 
  A                             
I know that I pretended that I knew it all. 
    E 
But when you tell my story, 
      G 
And I hope somebody does, 
C#m                      F# 
Remember me as something bigger than I was 
 


[Refrão]
 
It ends with sons 
             C# 
It ends with wives 
             Em                                  
It ends with knowing when the pavement bends we find our lives. 
          C#   Em 
So let it come, 
           D#m   D 
And let me go. 
            C#    Em 
Show me the waves, 
             D#m   Dm 
And let them flow. 
            C#m F# C#m F#m 
It all ends well, 
              
This much, I know.
