[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
              D
So this is acceptance
                      A
Somedays you're gonna feel
 this numb
          Bm
So many lessons
You weren't supposed to
 G
 learn this young
           D
So many questions
              A
What'd I ever do to God?
             Bm
'Cause I'm staring
in the mirror
                   G
Wondering where it all
 went wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
A                 Bm
One step forward, two
steps to hell
  G
I can't give up but
I'm so unwell
     A              Bm
It's me against the world,
           G
 against myself

[Chorus]
                    D Dsus4 D
But this is the not end
                    Bm G/B Bm
I'm hanging off the edge
              G
But I'll keep
Holding on, I swear to God
I got a stubborn heart
And a voice screaming
       A F#m/A A7
 in my head
                 D
This is not the end

[Verse 2]
              D
So this is resentment
               A
Maybe I'm my father's son
      Bm
But I don't think it's fair now
I'm stuck lying here not
         G
knowing how to be loved

[Pre-Chorus]
            A
It's always one step
          Bm
forward, two steps to hell
  G
I can't give up but I'm so unwell
     A              Bm
It's me against the world,
            G
 against myself

[Chorus]
                    D Dsus4 D
But this is the not end
                    Bm G/B Bm
I'm hanging off the edge
              G
But I'll keep
Holding on, I swear to God
I got a stubborn heart
And a voice screaming
       A F#m/A A7
in my head
                   D
This is not the end

[Post-Chorus]
D
No, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
F#m/C#          Bm
This is not the end

No, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    D/A
But I'll keep
G
Holding on, I swear to God
I got a stubborn heart
And a voice screaming
       A F#m/A A7
 in my head

[Outro]
N.C.          D
So this is acceptance
                       A
Some days you're gonna feel
this numb
          Bm
So many lessons
                        G
You weren't supposed to learn
this young

How to play The End: key, chords and progression

The End by Thomas Day is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 10 chords: D, A, Bm, G, Dsus4, G/B, F#m/A, A7, F#m/C# and D/A.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – Bm – G (I – V – vi – IV in D major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm, F#m/A and F#m/C# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
