[Intro]
F Dm Am C
[Verse 1]
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
C G F
The empathetic hunger descends
We'll tell no-one
C G F
Cept all of our friends
C G
We must know how did it end?
F Dm Am C
[Verse 2]
F Dm
We were blind to unforeseen circumstances
Am C
We learn the right steps to different dances
F Dm
And fell 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 G
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
C G F
The empathetic hunger descends
We'll tell no-one
C G F
Cept all of our friends
C G F
