[Intro]
A E D

[Verse 1]
A                                  E
To swim the endless sea of tragedy
D                                   A
To end up on the rocks so helplessly
A                                 E
Not any raft of life to rescue me
D                            A
Will ever anyone deliver me?

[Chorus 1]
D
Of all the places,Here I came
A                            E
Ever changing, always the same
 Bm  A  E
(ah-ah-ah)
D
I've lost the rules unto this game
A                            E
Ever changing, always the same
 Bm  A  E
(ah-ah-ah)

How to play Endless: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Endless by The La’s on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Endless by The La’s, think in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). It takes 4 chords: A, E, D and Bm.

Most of the song cycles through A – E – D – A (I – V – IV – I in A major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
