C#mOh, what webs we unfold
Eat the end of the world
G#mLife was cruel at the Eend of your rifle
C#mSo with pride on my side
Eand plans to bury you alive 
G#with the carnivores, clowns, and lions
C#mall the games I had rigged
Elike the suicide bridge
G#mwhere I'd take you and wait for a whileE  
C#mall the sad long goodbyes
Eand the fake alibis
G#you buy new or used without passion

[Verse 2]
C#mWell you are by one 
Eas your poor souls awake,
G#mBut still no sound their lips to make.E  
C#mAs our twisted souls 
Erise from cold, old Earth.
G#These are fruits of all our work.
E[VG#mocalAizEation]
ESo I wrote "Goodbye" 
on the mirror by the light.
G#mIt was thundering and lighting.
It was the middle of the night.
AThese are the roads that we're already been down?E  
EIn your imagination 
you see a face for love.
G#mSomeone to come along with, 
instead of coming on and on.
AIs there ever anybody out there?E  
EBut your mummy didn't love you
and your daddy didn't care.
G#mThey left you with a good friend
left you hanging in the air.
AWas there was anybody out there?E  
[Vocalization 2]
C#mNow all those frozen hours
G#mmelted into time.
ALeft with the reflection
Ein the mirror of your mind.
C#mSometimes you hear voices
you hear voices in your hall.
G#mYou wake up and you're screaming 'cause
There's no one there at all.
AThese are the roads that we're already been down.
EThese are the roads that we're already been down.
EA horrible hardened soul.
G#mGot plenty of money, though 
Awhat it's worth you just don't know.E  
ESo listen to me now
G#mThis could be our shining hour
Abased on all that mad deceit.E  
EBut horrible hearts exposed 
G#mwatching as the money goes.
AStill what it's worth you just don't knowE  
F#mbut I deceived you so long.B  
EBye Bye.

Oh, what webs we unfold

at the end of the world

G#m E

Life was cruel at the end of your rifle

C#m

So with pride on my side

and plans to bury you alive

with the carnivores, clowns, and lions

C#m

all the games I had rigged

like the suicide bridge

G#m E

where I'd take you and wait for a while

C#m

all the sad long goodbyes

and the fake alibis

you buy new or used without passion
