GBack when I was yCoung enough to Gknow from where I caDme,
I sEmaw my love be sCpat upon and shEmouted dDown in sGhame.
Well I huGng my head and sChed a tear, when I wGent to change my Dname,
But his hEmonor told me doCn't 'cha fear, 'cause it aEmlways eDnds the sGame.
It alwGays ends the sCame, he said, aGlways ends the sDame.
Ah, remEmember dear this Ctoo shall pass, and it alEmways enDds the sGame.
Well GI was feeling Cso alone, when the cGongregation sDang,
Of EmJesus Christ and CLucifer, and the pEmrice that DI would pGay.
But the pGreacher told me nCot to fear, for they kGnow not what they Dsay
Yeah the Emhistory is Con your side, and it alEmways eDnds the sGame.
It alwGays ends the sCame, he said, aGlways ends the sDame.
Ah, remEmember dear this Ctoo shall pass, and it alEmways enDds the sGame.
Now the fiGshes on the CTV fly, in cGircles all the sDame,
Like liEmttle children terCrified of whEmat they cDan't explGain.
But wGhen the suburb aCnd the sky, are bGoth awash in flaDme,
Oh the tEmelevision woCn't survive, and it aEmlways eDnds the sGame.
It alwGays ends the sCame, you know, Galways ends the Dsame.
Ah, remEmember dear this Ctoo shall pass, and it alEmways enDds the sGame.
And wGhen I'm finally oCld enough to leGarn to play the gDame,
Oh the dEminosaurs will rCoam the earth, and resEmume their bDloody reGign.
But whGen I hear their vCictory song, I will hGum the old refraDin,
No lEmie can live foreCver on, and it alwEmays enDds the saGme.
It alwGays ends the sCame, you know, Galways ends the Dsame.
Ah, remEmember dear this Ctoo shall pass, and it alEmways enDds the sGame.
It alwGays ends the sCame, he said, aGlways ends the sDame.
Ah, remEmember dear this Ctoo shall pass, and it alEmways enDds the sGame.

G C G D

Back when I was young enough to know from where I came,

Em C Em D G

I saw my love be spat upon and shouted down in shame.

G C G D

Well I hung my head and shed a tear, when I went to change my name,

Em C Em D G

But his honor told me don't 'cha fear, 'cause it always ends the same.

G C G D

It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.

Em C Em D G

Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

Well I was feeling so alone, when the congregation sang,

Em C Em D G

Of Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and the price that I would pay.

G C G D

But the preacher told me not to fear, for they know not what they say

Em C Em D G

Yeah the history is on your side, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.

Em C Em D G

Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

Now the fishes on the TV fly, in circles all the same,

Em C Em D G

Like little children terrified of what they can't explain.

G C G D

But when the suburb and the sky, are both awash in flame,

Em C Em D G

Oh the television won't survive, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.

Em C Em D G

Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

And when I'm finally old enough to learn to play the game,

Em C Em D G

Oh the dinosaurs will roam the earth, and resume their bloody reign.

G C G D

But when I hear their victory song, I will hum the old refrain,

Em C Em D G

No lie can live forever on, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.

Em C Em D G

Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.

G C G D

It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.

Em C Em D G

Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
