No, the doctors didn't tell you that you [A] were dying.
[C#m] [E] They just collected their money and [D]
sent you on your way.
[A] But you knew all along, went on pretending nothing was wrong.
You [E] said, I will keep my focus till [D] the end.
[E] And in the journal you kept [A] by the side of your bed,
[C#] you [E] wrote nightly an aspiration of [D]
developing as an author,
[A]
confessing childhood secrets, of [C#] dressing up in women's clothes,
[E]
compulsions you never knew the [D] reasons to.
Will [A]
everyone you ever [C#] meet or love
be [E] just a relationship based on [D] a false presumption?
Despite [A]
everyone you [C#] ever meet or [C#] love, [E] in the end,
will [D] you be all alone [A] as the disease spreads slowly
through your body, pumped [C#] by your heart to the tips of your arms and your legs?
Your [E] greatest fear was that your mind wouldn't last.
[D] Your clarity and alertness would be the first things to fade as [A] your hair thinned,
as the weight fell off, as your teeth blackened, [C#] as the lesions spotted your skin.
[C#m] As you [E] fell to your knees in the center of the stage,
as you [D] offered witness to mortality in exchange for the ticket price,
as [A] the light blended in to the continuing noise,
as [C#] all hope was finally lost,
[E] adrenaline carried one last [D] thought to fruition,
Let this be [B] the end.
Let this [D#]
be the last song.
Let this be the end.
Let all be [E]
