End Of My Rope

Tom: F

G                      F
  growing up was easy
G
  for some but not me
            C            D           G   F
and getting older is the same old story

     G                      F
they say I've come too far
    G
too late to turn back now
     C             G               D
so I guess there's nowhere left to go
                    D
say it loud for the whole world to know


[Chorus]
C               D                 G
  let me die on stage singing the last song I know
        C                   D           G
let the spotlight shine the skin off my bones
          C             D
yes I'm a long way from normal
    G                Em
and not much left to go
       C          D         G     F
till I get to the end of my rope

C               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
G               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
C                  Bb
end of my rope, oh yeah


[Verse 2]
G                        F
  tall tales can't cover
G
  up what can be seen
            C             D             G
and feeling better is the same old pipe dream

G                          F
  my shadows are breaking
G
  my sun is fading
         C            G         D
yeah I'm making light of my misery
                        D
shine it bright for the whole world to see


[Chorus]
C               D                 G
  let me die on stage singing the last song I know
        C                   D           G
let the spotlight shine the skin off my bones
          C             D
yes I'm a long way from normal
    G                Em
and not much left to go
       C          D         G     F
till I get to the end of my rope

C               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
G               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
C                  Bb
end of my rope, oh yeah


[Outro]
G               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
C               Bb
end of my rope, yeah
G
end of my rope
Bb       C      D         G    F
well I'm at the end of my rope
