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?
