Misc Unsigned Bands – Ign - The World Is Saved (Guitar)

    C     D  E
The world is saved.

    E
The living room is dark save for light being cast

         G
From the big TV screen and the imminent sunrise

        A                                            C        D
That is teasing the once-starry sky with whispers of morning.

    E
You sit there, alone, in your one-bedroom flat.

     G
You stare straight ahead with controller in hand

        A                                         C        D
And you marvel at, YES! You did it. You made it. GAME OVER.

        C     D   E
And the world is saved, thanks to you.

    C  D   E
The people prayed for a hero and you answered the call

        C                   D
And you did a good job, you gave it your best,

           E
And you’re proud of yourself though a little depressed

         C     D  A
That the world is saved.

    E
You stocked and prepared. You slept at the inn.

     G
Your whole inventory was packed going in

      A                                             C     D
With equipment and items designed to turn man into legend.

    E
You sigh, satisfied, as a cutscene presents

    G
The kind of conclusion you kind of expected.

    A
The people are smiling, the sunshine’s returned,

    E
It’s… Perfect.

    E
But you can not help thinking on what’s coming next.

    G
Got work in the morning and your body is upset

          A                                      C  C  D
With your general lack of paying it any attention.

     E
Your stomach is empty, your body is tired.

   G
It burns every time you try closing your eyes

        A                                                E
And the dullest of pain has made camp north of your cerebellum.

        C     D  E
But the world is saved, if you like.

    C D  E
The hero hangs up his sword as he says his goodbye.

         C                 D
But then where does he go? What does he do?

      E
The adventure is over, so where does that leave you

         C     D  A
When the world is saved?

            E                G
The curtain falls. The music plays.

            A               D         E
The credits roll and it all fades… to black.

           E                                G
And you’re left by yourself. The fanfare is gone.

                  A               D                       A
There’s no player 2 there by your side to share victories won.

                     E
But as you slowly progress

                      G
down the hall to your bed,

            A      D
a few great events

                    E
leak back into your head.

                        E
From the time that you spent

               G
Traversing the land,

         A                  D                      A
Battling evil, fighting the darkness just sword in hand.

                    E
Your memories creep in

                     G
With the edge of a smile.

             A    D
You realize again

                    E
what you lost for a while

                             E
You’re gonna think back much less

                     G
On how you saved the day

         A   D
Than on all

               A
The experience gained.

                 E
At the end of it all,

                    G
Gamers play what we play.

              A
Not for GAME OVER,

     D                 E
But rather for what we take a-way!

    E     D  A
The world is saved!

        E
But who cares?!

        D                A
We both know that that’s not what you came for.

C                        E
Your next adventure is already in sight

           D
And you’re all set to go

         A
You’re excited to see what’s all wrong 'till it’s right

        E     D  A    
And the world is saved.

                                  E    D   A
Though you’re more along for the ride.

                           E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.

                          E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.

                          E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.
