We had a go
And worked it out
Until the bitter end
And I suppose
I should’ve known
What was waiting ‘round the bend

I didn’t know that kindness was fleeting
I didn’t know that soft could go hard
I bet you wonder at the words in your mouth
I bet you wonder at the sound

We break the promise
And we take it back
We move in silence
This is the end, the end, the end

We try, we fail, we crawl
We let the pieces fall
where they may
And the picture fades

So go on and break my heart
It’s always been caught off guard
In the end, there is nothing left to say

And the secrets you keep under your tongue
Are turning two into no one
I bet you wonder at the words in your mouth
I bet you wonder at the sound

We break the promise
And we take it back
We move in silence
This is the end, the end, the end

The plane falls,
And it goes on and on in circles, spinning round
Let it go, let it go
I can’t take it with me,
can’t take it with you

We break the promise
And we take it back
We move in silence
This is the end, the end, the end

We break the promise
And we take it back
We move in silence
This is the end, the end, the end

(repeat &fade)

No matter what, I couldn’t get quite happy with the bridge, but this sounds okay to play
with. Some chords didn’t translate perfectly from the piano, so I made some slight adaptations.

Wicked World by Laura Jansen

Intro: | Cm7 | Cdim | Fm7 | Cm | 2x
(or G#)
Verse 1:
You say you like candy
Well stick with me
I’ve got some sugar up my sleeve
You like money
Place your bets on me
These odds are going crazy
And don’t be afraid of the big bad wolf
He’s just a sheep underneath those teeth
And don’t be afraid of the wicked witch
She ain’t so bad she ain’t no bitch

Chorus:

D# A# Cm (B , A# in
Bass only the first time)
Ooh ooh it’s a wicked, wicked world (2x)

Verse 2:

La-la-la-ladies if you feal me holler
Fellas show us all the dollar
Little Riding Hood is such a flirt
She got Miss Muffet all up in her skirt
And Hansel and Gretel never made it home
They got some cooking to do of their own

Chorus:

D# A# Cm (B , A# in
Bass only the first time)
Ooh ooh it’s a wicked, wicked world (2x)

Bridge:
Once I tried to be so good
All sweet and spice like good girls should
But I don’t see why I try
Why do I try
When every time I climb that hill
My Jack is somewhere chasing Jill
Two, one, two, three, four

Chorus:
D# A# Cm (B , A# in
Bass only the first time)
Ooh ooh it’s a wicked, wicked world! (2x)

Verse 3:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel
let down your golden hair
Giddy up, giddy up on your big white horse
Even if your prince ain’t there
I’d like forever after
Like every princess should
But there’s always another chapter
And the apple sure tastes good
Chorus:
D# A# Cm ( B , A# in the Bass only the first time)
Ooh ooh it’s a wicked, wicked world (2x)
