I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Phoebe Bridgers Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            I made this tab for those who want to play in standard tuning but still have it be accurate to Phoebe's
chord progressions. The chord progression is adapted from pkamat007's version, but transcribed into standard
tuning (since the UG transposition feature does not work for such complex chords).

Capo fret 1 (chord names and fingerings relative to capo)

Use thumb for low E string for bass notes throughout

[Intro]
C/G   Cadd9/F   C/E   C/F   Cmaj7/F  C/F   Cmaj7/F

[Verse 1]
C/G
Somewhere in Germany, but I can't place it
Cadd9/F
Man, I hate this part of Texas
C/E
Close my eyes, fantasize
C/F                     Cmaj7/F
Three clicks and I'm home

C/G
When I get back I'll lay around
Cadd9/F
Then I'll get up and lay back down
C/E
Romanticize a quiet life
C/F                     Cmaj7/F    C/F    Cmaj7/F
There's no place like my room

[Chorus 1]
              Am7
But you gotta go
  C*              Fadd9
I know, I know, I know
       Am7                  C*            Fadd9
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
             Am7         Gadd11      Fadd9
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
               D9sus
And you had to go
          Cmaj7/E      C/F  Cmaj7/F    C/F    Cmaj7/F
I know, I know,    I know

[Verse 2]
    C/G
Out in the park we watch the sunset
Cadd9/F
Talking on a rusty swing set
C/E                          C/F    Cmaj7/F
After a while you went quiet and I got mean
       C/G
Always pushing you away from me
   Cadd9/F
But you comeback with gravity
    C/E                       C/F
And when I call you come home
      Cmaj7/F    C/F    Cmaj7/F
A bird in your     teeth

[Chorus 2]
           Am7
So I gotta go
  C*              Fadd9
I know, I know, I know
         Am7                C*             Fadd9
When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor
                  Am7            Gadd11        Fadd9   C/F
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
          C
I'm gonna chase it
          C/E  Fmaj9
I know, I know, I know
        C
I gotta go now
          C/E   C/F  Cmaj7/F    C/F    Cmaj7/F
I know, I know,        I know

[Outro]
Dm11   Fsus2   C5   Gadd11*   Gmaj11
Dm11   Fsus2   C5   Gadd11*   Gmaj11

Dm11           Fsus2         C5
     Driving out into the sun
            Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
                Fsus2      C5
Went looking for a creation myth
      Gadd11*   Gmaj11       Dm11
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
             Fsus2         C5
Windows down, scream along
                Gadd11*   Gmaj11    Dm11
To some America first rap country song
                 Fsus2      C5
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
      Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
Slot machines, fear of God
             Fsus2        C5
Windows down, heater on
              Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
Big bolts of lightning hanging low
               Fsus2          C5
Over the coast, everyone's convinced
                  Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
It's a government drone or alien spaceship
           Fsus2            C5
Either way, we're not alone
            Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
I'll find a new place to be from
               Fsus2               C5
A haunted house with a picket fence
          Gadd11*    Gmaj11 Dm11
To float around and ghost my friends
                  Fsus2         C5
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
              Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11
The billboard said the end is near
                Fsus2                   C5
I turned around, there was nothing there
        Gadd11*   Gmaj11  Dm11   Fsus2   C5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
        Gadd11*   Gmaj11  Dm11   Fsus2   C5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
  Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11   Fsus2   C5
I guess the end is here
        Gadd11*   Gmaj11 Dm11   Fsus2   C5   Gadd11*
Yeah, I guess the end is here
