      G    F    G    F   (x2)


G F Em           G    F   Em 
  I want to tell you something
G F    Em       G       F Em 
  It's not a secret or anything
G  F        Em     G        F      
  You're not alone in being alone
Em       C                F    F# 
  At the end of a perfect day
G  F  Em           G          F  Em 
  And if you leave all your dependants
G  F        Em   G              F  Em   
  Then they will gain their independence
G  F        Em  G          F                     
  Don't make a martyr of yourself
       Em       C                 F
  It's just the end of a perfect day
  Am        F    
  And it's never how it seems
      Am                    F   
  The rain may fall on the best laid schemes
           Am           Em          F  
  But in a written testimonial I'd say
           F#              G      Em  F
  I never really knew you anyway

G  F Em          G   F    Em 
  I want to tell you something
G  F Em          G       F  Em 
  Now don't go crazy or anything
G  F   Em            G            F  
  Just want to tell you that it's over
Em         C                F
  It's the end of a perfect day
G  F  Em         G   F Em 
  Do you want sign language?
G  F       Em      G    F   Em 
  Don't want a knuckle sandwich!
G  F      Em   G              F        
  Now you can love or you can hate
        Em      C                F
  It's just the end of a perfect day
  Am               F  
  You can't get inside someone
   
Am          F   
  So don't ask me if we're close
     Am             Em  
  I really couldn't tell you
         F                 F#            G
  But I know you wouldn't really listen anyway
Am        F          
  It's a pain you've got to bear
            Am              F
  And it's always going to be there
              Am            Em
  But if you disappeared tomorrow
             F                F#              G    Em F
  Then the world would carry on without you anyway

G                           G F# F
  Mind over matter it seems
        Em                Am
  Can't stop you falling apart at the seams
C                   Dm
  It's a matter of honour with me
             G         
  I should write out a hundred times
           F                    
  Put my hand on my heart and say

  That I don't want to lie

  Don't want to lie
             F#        
  About the way it is

G  F  Em          G       F   Em 
  I want to tell you something
G  F  Em              G      F    Em 
  Don't act surprised now or anything
G  F      Em      G    F   
  Now you can revel in yourself
Em                C                 F
  'Cause it's the end of a perfect day
Am                     F
  No it's not a pretty world out there
    Am                        F
  With people dying of their own despair
            Am           Em            F
  But in a written testimonial you'd say
              F#               G
  You never really knew them anyway
Am                F
  I'll never satisfy you
       Am         F
  I'll never even try to
     Am              Em
  I really couldn't tell
              F               F#
  It just depends what you remember
         G            Em   F
  At the end of a perfect day
