Intro: A  F#m     A   F#m 
 
Parte 1: 
A                            F#m 
  think in terms of bridges burned 
A                             F#m 
  think of seasons that must end 
A                        F#m 
  see the rivers rise and fall 
A                           F#m 
  they will rise and fall again 
 
  
D                          E 
  everything must have an end 
                       A 
  like an ocean to a shore 
          C#7          D    Dm 
  like a river to a stream 
                       Bm 
  like a river to a stream 
E                        A 
  it's the famous final scene 
 
(Repete intro) 
   
 Parte 2: 
A                              F#m 
  and how you tried to make it work 
A                           F#m 
  did you really think it could 
A                           F#m 
  how you tried to make it last 
A                            F#m 
  did you really think it would 
 
  
D                              E 
  like a guest who stayed too long 
                            A 
  now it's finally time to leave 
            C#7               D    Dm 
  yes, it's finally time to leave 
                        Bm 
  take it calmly and serene 
E                       A     A7 
  it's the famous final scene 
                          D 
  it's been coming on so long 
E                            A 
  you were just the last to know 
F#m                                    Bm 
  it's been a long time since you've smiled 
E                        A   A7 
  seems like oh so long ago 
                             D 
  now the stage has all been set 
E                             A 
  and the nights are growing cold 
F#m                        Bm 
  soon the winter will be here 
E                             A    E 
  and there's no one warm to hold 
 
(D      E      A      F#m    Bm  E) 
 
Parte 3: 
A                             F#m 
  now the lines have all been read 
A                            F#m 
  and you knew them all by heart 
A                           F#m 
  now you move toward the door 
A                            F#m 
  here it comes the hardest part 
 
 
D                        E 
  try the handle of the road 
                             A 
  feeling different feeling strange 
        C#7             D      Dm 
  this can never be arranged 
                               Bm 
  as the light fades from the screen 
E                         A 
  from the famous final scene
