[Verse 1]
Am D
So this is how it slips away
Am D
With a whimper and a bang
Am D
This is how our banners fade
Am D
Caught in the devil's own parade
Am D
In the Devil's own parade
Am D
His own parade
[Interlude]
Am D
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Am D
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
Am D
Scattered pieces of my life
Am D
Pages read by a dying light
Am D
I can almost see what I was trying to say
Am D
But the meaning somehow just slips away
Am D
They just slips away
Am D
Slips away
[Verse 3]
Am D
Good intentions, best-laid plans
Am D
Earnest effort by shaky hands
Am D
The road to hell is paved with bones
Am D
Of the ones who knew which way to go
Am D
Which way to go
Am D
Which way to go
[Interlude]
Am D
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Am D
Mm-mm, mm-mm
[Chorus]
Am D
This is where you have to start
Am D
Oh, you crazy, crazy heart
Am D
From the ashes, from the dirt
Am D
From the wound, from the hurt
Am D
You have to break before you can bend
Am D
You have to start at the bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
[Interlude]
Am D
Mm-mm
Am D
Mm-mm

[Chorus]
Am D
And this is where you have to start
Am D
Oh, you crazy, crazy heart
Am D
From the ashes, from the dirt
Am D
From the wound, from the hurt
Am D
Oh, you gotta break before you can bend
Am D
You have to start at the bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
Am D
The bitter end
