In The End

Key: EHard

Dmaj7

Abm7

Bmaj7

E7There's a fly on the wall in the house on the hill

E7Where the king of the world watches DTV

DAnd the E7people await for his latest mandate

E7To a nation of angry Dbelievers

E7His words are a drug while his loyal band of thugs

E7Cover up all his Bmmany DmtransDgressions

E7The fly lands on his ear and whispers, "BWhat's there to fear

DAs long as you're still the obsession?"

BIs it too late to Aturn back now?

BmToo late to see the Dlight?

BDo you make aA vow, Heaven and Hell?

BmWhen you wake up at night, do you Dask yourself?

AIn theB end, did you Dfeed them? BmHow'd you Atreat them?

AIs it so hard to love?

BIn the end, Dlike you mean it, like you've Aseen it

AYou get back what you give in the Bend

E7There's a man on the Bmcross with His arms open wide

EAnd a fear that they'll queDnch the world's fires

DBut His name is a shield to the ones who would wield

DTheir own power and Bmgreed and Ddesire

BIn the end, Ddid you feed them? BmHow'd you Atreat them?

AIs it so hard to love?

BIn the end, Dlike you mean it, like you've Aseen it

AYou get back what you give in the Bend Dmaj7 Gb A

AIs it so hard to love?

BIn the end, like you mean it, like you've seen it

AYou get back wBhat you give in the BendDmaj7 A

AIs it so hard to love?

Instrumental

DBmAbm7BmAbm7DEE7

You'll only live once, or maybe you'll live twice

Depending on how well you spent it

You see, karma's a drag, Eyou come back as a rat

E7Dodgin' E9traps, set by your own Ddescendants

BIs it too late to tAurn back now?

BmToo late to turB7n around?

BYou'll get one chanceA in this life

You can dBmo the right thing or you can Dclose your eyes

BIn the end, Ddid you feed them? How'd Ayou treat them?

AIs it so hard to love?

BIn the end, Dlike you mean it, like youA've seen it

AYou get back what you give

BIn the end, did you hDear them? Did you Afear them?

AIs it so hard to love?
