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