It's too late to fight, It ends tonight,

It ends tonight.

It's my fault when you're blind,

D/F#                 F    

It's better that I see it through your eyes

Am/E           F                    Dm

All these thoughts locked inside

                         G

Now you're the first to know

End on Am
