I can't keep a straight face and say, "This is not the end."

Am                       F             G                C
Not if you want it; it's upon us and I wanna say, "It's sinking in."

C                           Em
This may sound crazy, but I want to come back home!

Am                            F              G              C
That's it, I said it; now I'm sailing off to Neverland, and then Japan.

C   F     C    G
So, think real slow.

      F                  C              G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no;

F                 C       G
About the way you want to go;

         F              Em              C
Cause, I may forget the way to get back home!

C                       Em
This is the end; if you want it!

            C
This is the end!

C                                Em
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved and lost,

Am                                     F             G                   C
Yeah, I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to merely, just shrug off.

C                          Em
I took the fire-escape and made it out alive!

Am                              F                G            C
Yeah, I still burn from time to time, but I've a healing hand against my side.

C   F      C     G
So, think real slow.

      F                  C              G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no;

F                 C       G
About the way you want to go;

         F              Em              C
Cause, I may forget the way to get back home!

C                       Em
This is the end; if you want it!

C                       Em
This is the end; if you want it!

            C
This is the end!!!

C                                    Em
I can't keep a straight face and say, "This is not the end"

Am                       F             G                C
Not if you want it, it's upon us and I wanna say, "It's sinking in."

C                     Em
If I was hasty, maybe I was rushed along;

Am                       F               G                   C
I won't move into little boxes, and then not get the itch to move on.

C   F     C    G
So, think real slow.

         F                        C     G
Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no.

F                 C          G
Melting prints of grass, and snow;

         F              G               C
Means, I may forget the way to get back home.

                  C           Em
Cause this is the end; if you want it.

            C
This is the end.

C                                Em
You're not the first thing in my life I've loved, and lost.

                C
Yeah, I've thought worse things, that I might be less inclined to merely just shrug off.

C      F    C  G
You'll take me home;

        F              C             G
Like my family did, my father did, I know.

       F     C    G
You'll think real slow;

     F               G                C  (Em)
But don't forget the speed that I can go, away.

                  C          Em
Cause this is the end if you want it

             C
This is the- I've,

C               G            C        Am
Been convincing myself, that I'm worthwhile;

           F               G                  C
'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be!

     C          G            C        Am
Been convincing myself, that I'm worthwhile;

           F               G                  C
'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be-

C                      Em
I met the devil, and I stared her in the eyes,

     Em
Her hair had scales like silver serpents; I, a statue, stood there mesmerized.

C                          Em
I took the fire escape and made it out alive!

Am                              F                G                       C
Yeah, I still burn from time to time, but I've a healing hand against my side.

F                      C          G
Blisters on my feet; I crawl back home,

F                             C         G
Frozen, from the sleet burned sand, and stones.

F                          C     G
Nourished back to life, by life, alone;

     F                G                 Em
With one shake of the mane, regain, the throne...
