Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C G

One conversation, a simple miscommunication

Am F

Pushed you to the brink of desperation

C G Am F

Your low-slung white Mercedes, the football team’s golden boy

C G F

And they all watched as it all went down

Chorus

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

Where did the shiny things go?

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

I can’t let this go

Verse 2

C G Am F

The clearest indicator, he couldn’t even look at her

C G Am F

The picture frame is shattered on the floor

C G Am F

He said he’d love her ’til the end, but then it ended

C G F

I’m still trying to get the story right

Chorus

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

Where did the shiny things go?

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

I can’t let this go

Bridge

F G Am

And I’m still haunted by the questions

F G Am

The answers I’ll never know

F G Am

Was it something that she said?

F G Am

Was it something that he did?

F G Am

And I’m still trying to figure it out

Verse 3

C G Am F

The final chapter, the last page of the story

C G Am F

The one where she walks out of the door

C G Am F

And he’s left standing in the kitchen, all alone

C G F

And the silence is the only sound

Chorus

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

Where did the shiny things go?

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

I can’t let this go

Chorus

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

Where did the shiny things go?

C G

How did it end? How did it end?

Am F

I can’t let this go

Am F

I can’t let this go

C

How did it end?

Practice tip: Practice the C to Am and G to F transitions slowly, as they are the most common changes in this song.
