I know what I want in the end - do you?

Capo: V [G-D-G-C G-D-C+]

You know we're writing our own movie, we can control how it ends,
We can control the props, the scenes, we can control how it begins
I think we know, how we want the film to roll. Am...

We can edit out the miscues, or re-film the last scene,
Rose between my teeth and kiss you, in a limousine.
Cliches' may be old, but I like the leading roles.

(Chorus)
And every man and women, who has walked hand in hand, Am ....
They understand, they understand, they understand.
And every eye that's seen the sparkle in another eye,
They know what the want in the end, .... And so do I.

So how long do we wait? Before we write the next scene?
Will you act the part as written, or will you try to rewrite me?
We write the words, as they are whispered.

Will we whisper 'understand me'? Will we accept all the flaws?
Will fire the primo donnas, and hire stuntmen to take the falls?
Supporting cast, help us last. Help us last.

[repeat chorus]

Now it's time for the climax, we must hold our breath, C 6th fret - G
Cause my train is leaving baby....
Do I see you standing, waiting?
Smiling, eyes upon me?
Will you catch me before my train leaves?
You can catch me.... with a hand upon my sleeve.

Well, if the script is right, it says you stay here for the night.
And in the morning we get some bagels, and accept all that is right.
You shine so bright, I will not see tonight.

[chorus]
And every man and women, who has walked hand in hand, Am ....
They understand, they understand, they understand.
And every eye that's seen the sparkle in another eye,
They know what the want in the end....
We all know what we want in the end....
Do you know what you want in the end?.... Well, so do I.
