Topic: "In The End"

This is just a little ballad for my many friends out there who are still in that game of trying to meet a special person to share their life with. I can’t imagine how difficult it is these days nor would I want to be the one out there looking for the special someone.

In The End By Jeff Gilpin


June 25th, 2008




Intro


[C] [D]




Verse 1


Well, [G]we’ve all been down this road before


Where you [Em]think you’re heading for something more


But in[D]evitably it crumbles to dust in the [C]end


You [G]think you would have learned by now


But you [Em]went ahead and allowed


Your [D]hopes and dreams to get back up a[C]gain


But [D]what looked like a dream come [Em]true


Went and played a trick on [G]you


And there’s nothing you can [C]do


[D]Nothing left but to pick the pieces [Em]up


Think of it as a half full [G]cup


And don’t let yourself e[C]rupt [D]…it’s not the[G]end [D]




Verse 2


So you for[G]get it all and start again


[Em]Working hard with all your friends


But you [D]never really seem to quite for[C]get


Because [G]once you have been burned before



You [Em]flinch when you know what’s in store


So you pro[D]tect yourself from more re[C]gret


So in[D]stead of wearing holes in your [Em]shoes


You live your life that's filled with [G]blues


But at least you didn’t [C]loose


And yet [D]you’re losing out on [Em]life


No husband or no [G]wife


Just loneliness and [C]strife[D]…that never [G]ends [D]




Verse 3


[G]There is no moral in the end


Just be [Em]ready for love or get burned again


Or [D]settle for a lonely life of [C]one


A [G]sense of humor may be what we need


So [Em]we can laugh when we start to bleed


The [D]only way to keep from coming un[C]done


Just [D]keep on putting your heart on the [Em]line


And maybe after [G]time


Things will work out [C]fine


[D]You’ll find there’s a heart out there for [Em]you


That’s been waiting your whole life [G]through


And you’ll have a love that’s [C]true[D]…in the [C]end [G]

Re: "In The End"

Thanks Jets
I was done looking a long time ago.I don't know if I could handle getting burned again but I carry on.If something happens than something happens and I'll hang on tight for the ride.
Very thought provoking words.
Well Done Sir

Re: "In The End"

hi jeff i bet a lot of people can relate to this song,i don't think i'd bother finding another if anything happened to the mrs it would'nt be the same after all these years,i think i'd end up trying to mould the woman to my wifes little quirks.great song...stay cool

love is life ,life is for love,keep a true heart and live life to the full....stay cool

Re: "In The End"

Hi Jets ,

I can so relate to all of this song. Its so good. You got right in there some how.

I do believe we are meant to share our lives with someone else. We are made to love and be loved. Its easier  not to commit then be deeply hurt again, but also very lonesome at times.

Thanks KAP, Daddy and Lena - I have a few friends who are in that situation and I see their pain.

Re: "In The End"

what a beautiful song,  i'm going to your web next. even if you haven't recorded it i still think the sentiments are so close to my life and i expect everyone else's that if you played it on a jew's harp it would sell a million. and yes how fortunate we are that we have found our life partners, i dont think i would like to take part in the race for a mate, is she? isnt she? i used to hate it when i was young free and single, now i'm old married and spoken for [very loudly] i'm happy and content to be in a monogamous relationship.

great song jeff

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: "In The End"

Hey Phill - Thanks very much. I am so far behind on my recording that it might take a while for this one to get there but it does play well I think and the message is good too.
