Intro: F Dm Am C Verse: F Dm We hereby conduct this post-mortem Am C He was a hot house flower to my outdoorsmen F Dm Our maladies were such, we could not cure them Am C And so a touch that was my birth right became foreign Chorus: F Come one come all C G F It’s happening again G F The empathetic hunger descends We’ll tell no-one C G F ʼCept all of our friends G We must know how did it end? F Dm Am C Verse: F Dm We were blind to unforeseen circumstances Am C We learn the right stеps to different dances F D And fеll victim to interlopers glances Am C Lost the game of chance, what are the chances? F Soon they’ll Go home to their husbands Dm Smug ’cause they know they can trust him Am C Then feverishly calling their cousins (Oh, oh) Chorus: F C Guess who we ran into at the shops? F C G Walking in circles like she was lost F Didn’t you hear? C G They called it all off F One gasp and then C G How did it end? Dm G Am F Bridge: Dm G Say it once again with feeling how the death rattle Am F Breathing, silenced as the soul was leaving Dm The deflation of our dreaming G Leaving me bereft and reeling Am My beloved ghost and me F Sitting in a tree F D-Y-I-N-G Chorus: C G F It’s happening again C G F How did it end? C G F I can’t pretend like I understand C G F How did it end? F Come one come all C G F It’s happening again G F The empathetic hunger descends We’ll tell no-one C G F ʼCept all of our friends C G F But I still don’t know how did it end?
