[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Why do we
cry when you [G]know how the story [Am]ends?
[F]How can you laugh when you [C]know
that it hurts your [G]friends?
[C]We've all been there [G]once
but you never [Am]left
[F]This is me coming [C]back back
to get you [Dm]out
[G]To say goodbye to make amend[C]s
I'm not [G]leaving this [Am]place
[F]Unless I'm lea[C]ving wit[Em]h you[G]
[C]You're the only [Em]person with
a [Am]half decent [G]heart here
And I [F]know you will put it to [G]use
Until it's [C]gone, [G]gone, [Am]gone
[F]Gone, [C]gone, [G]gone
[C]Gone, [G]gone, [Am]gone, [G]gone, [F]gone, yeah

And you [G]close your eyes for the [Am]big sleep
I hope [F]you think of me

[Verse 5]
[F]
And if you [C]go, I'll be [G]gone
And [Am]you'll be left [F]alone [G]to live your [C]life,
as you [G]please
But [Am]someday you'll [F]agree that I
[G]was [C]al ways meant for [G]you
You [Am]were always meant for [F]me and [C]you will
[G]see: [Am]that [F]you're impossibl[C]e
[Am][F][G][C][Am][F][G]
You're im[C]possible

[Verse 6]
[C]Me and Mr. Dylan on the [Am]ride home
We had [F]a heart to h[C]eart about l[G]ife
But [C]neither him or me could de[Am]cide for
ourselves [G]if [F]we wanted to outlive that [G]night
Like two [C]children on the playground
of the [Am]unconfessed souls
Aban[F]doned by [Em]our mothers
[C]and our [G]lovers and our foes
If [C]only we [G]were brave [Am]enough
to live the lives we [G]stole
What a [F]wonderful world this could [G]be!

And if you [C]go, I'll be [G]gone
And [Am]you'll be left [F]alone to live your [C]life,
as you [G]please
But [Am]someday you'll [F]agree that [G]I
was [C]always meant for [G]you
You [Am]were always meant for [F]me and [G]you will
[C]see: [G]tha[Am]t yo[F]u're impossible[C]
[Am][F][G][C][Am][F][G]
You're im[C]possible
[Am][F][G][C][Am]

[Verse 11]
[F]So [G]how ma[C]ny
more ex[G]amples until we [Am]break?
[F]How many sacrifices [C]must we [G]make?
Because [C]we've all been
there [G]once be[Am]fore
And it looks like we've
re[G]turned once more
[F]Is this the beginning or the [G]end?

[Verse 12]
The last two [C]soldiers [Am]on
the battlefield
Survivors of the war
They [F]aim at one another while
their [G]mothers beg the lord
"if you're [C]listen[G]ing, I'm missing him
So [Am]somehow bring him [G]home
[F]How did it come to [G]this?"
So the sol[C]diers lift [G]their rifles
They're [Am]aiming at the head
They [F]think of their first [Em]love before
[G]they take their final breaths
And [C]some where in the dis[G]tance they hear [Am]something someone
[G]said: [F]"how did it come to [G]this?"
