Bitter End

Bbmaj7 C6 Am Dm


[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7
At twenty-four
         C6
I fell into the trapdoor
         Am
Threw a man overboard
     Dm
As I swam for the shore
Bbmaj7
At twenty-five
           C6
I noticed red in my skies
       Am
Made a bed for his lies
        Dm
In the whites of my eyes


[Pre-Chorus]
Bbmaj7
I was naive
        C6
It got harder to breathe
         Am
Still, I don't let 'em see
              Dm
That there's blood on my knees
Bbmaj7
All that I want
       C6
Is to hear that one song
          Am
When the noises are gone
         Dm
I'll be singing along


[Chorus]
Bb
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
It nevеr really ends
Bb
Teach mе the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
Until the bitter end


[Verse 2]
Bbmaj7
At twenty-nine
          C6
I didn't see all the signs
      Am
So I hung on the line
        Dm
'Til I lost my spine
Bbmaj7
I prayed to God
         C6
I could curb the black dog
         Am
Oh, the days are so long
          Dm
With the oxygen gone


[Chorus]
Bb
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
It nevеr really ends
Bb
Teach mе the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
Until the bitter end


[Post-Chorus]
Bbmaj7    C6
Rapture, rapture
      Dm             C
Ever after, in the bitter end


[Bridge]
Bbmaj7
Guess what I learned
             C6
From every bridge that I burned
           Am
That your love should be earned
        Dm
And the world will still turn
Bbmaj7
All that I want
       C6
Is to hear that one song
           Am
When the noises are gone
          Dm
I'll be singing along


[Chorus]
Bb
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
It nevеr really ends
Bb
Teach mе the sound that can take me away
Gm                                      Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
Until the bitter end


[Outro]
Bbmaj7     C6
Rapture, rapture
      Dm             C
Ever after, in the bitter end
Bbmaj7     C6
Rapture, rapture
      Dm             C
Ever after, in the bitter end
          Bbmaj7
Finding rapture

Ever after
          Dm
Finding rapture
            C
I need a rapture
