I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Phoebe Bridgers Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
Open C# Tuning: C# G# C# E# G# C#
Learnt it from this video of her playing it in an Instagram livestream:
--/TN2T1ttq1S4
A cover of me playing it, acoustic so may be a little easier to hear and figure it out:
--/LL6qvWoHRug
Edit: People pointed out to me that the G#maj11/G chord was missing. I've updated this, but I don't play it
in this cover. It's played for the last two measures of the bar before each D#m11 chord in the outro. It's
pretty clear to see in her video.
[Chords]
There's a lot and they have scary names but they're pretty simple are often variations of each other

Picking pattern for the first half:
C#|--------------------------|
G#|-----------X-----------X--|
E#|-----X-----------X--------|
C#|--------X-----------X-----|
G#|--------------X-----------|
C#|--X-----------------------|
She varies this slightly (e.g. swapping when she picks the 6th string and 5th string when she moves between
F#maj9 and F#maj9#11) but it pretty much stays the same until the outro which she strums.
[Intro]
C#/G# F#maj13 C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
[Verse 1]
C#/G#
Somewhere in Germany but I can't place it
F#maj13
Man, I hate this part of Texas
C#/E#
Close my eyes, fantasize
F#maj9 F#maj9#11
Three clicks and I'm home
C#/G#
When I get back I'll lay around
F#maj13
And I'll get up and lay back down
C#/E#
Romanticize the quiet life
F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
There's no place like my room
[Chorus 1]
A#m7
But you gotta go
C# F#add9
I know, I know, I know
A#m7 C# F#add9
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
A#m7 G#add4 F#add9
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
D#11sus2
And you had to go
C#maj7/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
I know, I know, I know
[Verse 2]
C#/G#
Out in the park we watch the sunset
F#maj13
Talking on a rusty swing set
C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11
After a while you went quiet and I got mean
C#/G#
Always pushing you away from me
F#maj13
But you comeback with gravity
C#/E# F#maj9
And when I call you come home
F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
A bird in your teeth
[Chorus 2]
A#m7
So I gotta go
C# F#add9
I know, I know, I know
A#m7 C# F#add9
When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor
A#m7 G#add4 F#add9 F#maj9
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
C#*
I'm gonna chase it
C#/E# F#maj9
I know, I know, I know
C#*
I gotta go now
C#/E# F#maj9 F#maj9#11 F#maj9 F#maj9#11
I know, I know, I know
[Outro]
D#m11 F#sus2 C#5 G#add4 G#maj11/G
D#m11 F#sus2 C#5 G#add4 G#maj11/G
D#m11 F#sus2 C#5
Driving out into the sun
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
F#sus2 C#5
Went looking for a creation myth
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
F#sus2 C#5
Windows down, scream along
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
To some America first rap country song
F#sus2 C#5
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
Slot machines, fear of God
F#sus2 C#5
Windows down, heater on
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
Big bolts of lightning hanging low
F#sus2 C#5
Over the coast, everyone's convinced
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
It's a government drone or alien spaceship
F#sus2 C#5
Either way, we're not alone
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
I'll find a new place to be from
F#sus2 C#5
A haunted house with a picket fence
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
To float around and ghost my friends
F#sus2 C#5
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11
The billboard said the end is near
F#sus2 C#5
I turned around, there was nothing there
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11 F#sus2 C#5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11 F#sus2 C#5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11 F#sus2 C#5
I guess the end is here
G#add4 G#maj11/G D#m11 F#sus2 C#5 G#add4
Yeah, I guess the end is here
