[Verse 1]
Bm C D
A very long time ago before we fell apart, that was the start, that was the start
Bm C D
you stood by me and watched my career diminish, that was the finish, that was the finish
[Chorus]
Am7 D Am7 D
Start to finish, the beginning to the end
Am7 D Am7 D
I'll write these songs forever and that day will never end
Am7 D Am7 D
start to finish, from the first to the last
Am7 D Am7 D
they'll forget me in the future but remember me in the past
[Verse 2]

A very long time ago when you broke my heart, that was the start, that was the start

and so much later when we watched our love diminish, that was the finish, that was the finish

Start to finish, the beginning to the end
Am7 D Am7 D
I'll write these songs forever and that day will never end

from start to finish like a rocket through the sky

my life is ended in the blink of an eye
