The End

• Verse 1

Verse 1
D                             Em
 Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick
            D
Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks
                     Em
And then they lay it on me
       D                              Em
And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain
      D                                      Em
And I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry


Pre-Chorus
       G                                D
When I met you, I thought I was damaged goods
                     G
Had a fucked up childhood
                         D
And there's poison in my brain and in my blood


Chorus
       G                          F#m
If you knew it was the end of the world
                         Em
Could you love me like a child?
                         D
Could you hold me in the dark?
       G                          F#m
If you knew it was the end of the world
                         Em
Would you like to stay a while?
                             D
Would you leave when it gets hard?


Verse 2
     D                         Em
So I ran into the clinic and I asked to see the man
         D
With his white coat and his stethoscope
       Em
Like a snake around his hand
      D                                Em
And I told him I'm not bitter 'cause I finally found a lover
      D                                 Em
Who's better for my liver, and now I'll finally recover


Pre-Chorus
       G                                D
When I met him, I thought I was damaged goods
                        G
From a real bad neighborhood
                      D
So we wrestled in the mud
      G                                     D
And I told him he could stay right where he stood
                       G
But I don't know if he should
                                D
'Cause once my God destroys the flesh, then there's the flood


Chorus
       G                          F#m
If you knew it was the end of the world
                         Em
Could you love me like a child?
                         D
Could you hold me in the dark?
       G                          F#m
If you knew it was the end of the world
                         Em
Would you like to stay a while?
                        D
Maybe we could build an ark


Bridge
         G                                    F#m
We could sail on broken driftwood through the sopping wet terrain
              Em                               D
And count the buildings and the bodies getting swallowed by the rain
           G                                    F#m
And in the water, there's the doctor who didn't listen to my claim
       Em
What a shame, he's circling a drain


Outro
       G                             D
When I met you, I said I would never die
                        G                             D
But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time
      G                            F#m                                Em
And I know it's not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8?
                          D
'Cause my treatment starts today
