Not Supposed to End This Way


(Verse 1)

[C] He was a legend, a [G] silver screen star
[F] Built a life, made his [C] mark, near and far
[C] But when the lights faded, and the [G] years slipped away
[F] He found his peace in the [C] desert sun’s embrace

(Verse 2)

[C] She was the love that [G] steadied his soul
[F] Through every high, through [C] every low
[C] But fate’s cruel hand, it [G] had its own say
[F] Took her first—left him [C] lost in the gray

(Chorus)

[F] It’s not supposed to [C] end this way
[G] Love should outlast the [Am] night and day
[F] But when the heart’s too [C] tired to stay
[G] There’s no fight left, just [C] slip away

(Verse 3)

[C] A house once filled with [G] laughter and light
[F] Turned silent echoes in the [C] still of the night
[C] And though his name was [G] carved in stone
[F] Without her there, he [C] felt alone

(Bridge)

[F] One last breath, one [C] last sigh
[G] Did he whisper her [Am] name as he closed his eyes?
[F] Some love is too strong to [C] let go
[G] Some souls are meant to [C] follow

(Chorus)

[F] It’s not supposed to [C] end this way
[G] Love should outlast the [Am] night and day
[F] But when the heart’s too [C] tired to stay
[G] There’s no fight left, just [C] slip away

(Outro)

[F] Now they’re together, [C] side by side
[G] A love story fate [Am] could not divide
[F] And though we grieve, we [C] understand
[G] He was just reaching for [C] her hand
