End Of The Line

from One More Highway by Bob Menzies

/

about

Key West – A small bar at the end of Highway 1. No sniveling – everyone’s here because they want to be. Cheap beer, cheap morals, no regrets.

lyrics

End of the Line
BPM 116
1, 2…1,2,3,4 Intro - 4 Bars D F#m G A7
Verse 1
D F#minor
When I first saw you from across the room
G A7
I thought I knew you from somewhere
D F#minor
There was something about the way you smiled
G A 7
The way you touched your hair
D F#minor G A7
You probably think that this is just a line, one you’ve heard before
D F#minor G A7
Maybe it is but it made you smile, who could ask for anything more?


Chorus 1
G D/A D G
Let’s talk about the end of time there’s no one here will mind
D G D/A
Tell me what you’re thinking about and what you came to find
G A D Bm
You can tell me about your past crimes and I’ll tell you about mine
D G D/A D
Hey, we’re only here at the beginning of the end of the line
D F#minor G A7

Verse 2
There’s a green parrot outside the door, sawdust on the floor
And there’ll be no sniveling in here at all, no crying at the door
I am happy to make your acquaintance, I am happy to buy you a beer
And I gotta admit, I like your style, you seem to have no fear

Verse 3

Ahh, the famous people are no longer here, old Tattie left long ago
And Tennessee’s gone back up north, on to another show
I believe that we’re five minutes away from a brand new crime
And maybe we’re just ten minutes away from a really, really good time

Chorus 2
G A D G
Let’s talk about the end of time there’s no one here will mind
D G A
Tell me what you’re thinking about and what you came to find
G A D G
You can tell me about your past crimes and I’ll tell you about mine
D G A D
Hey, we’re only here at the beginning of the end of the line

Instrumental bridge – G A D/A D G D D/A A

Verse 4
She said you really know how to keep on talking when silence would be ok
But I really like the sound of your voice, not so much what you say
And you look like someone I could get to know in a sexual way (so I guess I might stay)
So why don’t we just get together, we’re almost at the end of the day

So let’s talk about the end of time there’s no one here will mind
Tell me what you’re thinking about and what you came to find
You can tell me about all of your past crimes I’ll tell you about mine
We’re only here at the beginning of the end of the line (down here)

Chorus repeats musically for outro and fades
