D#m                               B
Since we're feeling so anaesthetised
               D#m,
In our comfort zone
                          B
Reminds me of the second time
                     D#m
That I followed you home

D#m                      B
We're running out of alibis
                   D#m
From the second of May
                          B
Reminds me of the summer time
                 D#m
On this winter's day

Chorus:
B                     D#m
See you at the bitter end
B                     D#m
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day

Chorus

D#m
From the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
  B
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
(See you at the bitter end)
D#m
Love has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
B
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)

D#m
Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
 B
Heard a cry
Six feet down
In six weeks' time
The mess you left
     D#m
Will end
(See you at the bitter end)
