[Intro]
    C     D  E
The world is saved.
 
 
[Verse 1]
    E
The living room is dark save for light being cast
         G
From the big TV screen and the imminent sunrise
        A                                            C        D
That is teasing the once-starry sky with whispers of morning.
    E
You sit there, alone, in your one-bedroom flat.
     G
You stare straight ahead with controller in hand
        A                                         C        D
And you marvel at, YES! You did it. You made it. GAME OVER.
 
[Chorus]
        C     D   E
And the world is saved, thanks to you.
    C  D   E
The people prayed for a hero and you answered the call
        C                   D
And you did a good job, you gave it your best,
           E
And you’re proud of yourself though a little depressed
         C     D  A
That the world is saved.
 
[Verse 2]
    E
You stocked and prepared. You slept at the inn.
     G
Your whole inventory was packed going in
      A                                             C     D
With equipment and items designed to turn man into legend.
    E
You sigh, satisfied, as a cutscene presents
    G
The kind of conclusion you kind of expected.
    A
The people are smiling, the sunshine’s returned,
    E
It’s… Perfect.
 
    E
But you can not help thinking on what’s coming next.
    G
Got work in the morning and your body is upset
          A                                      C  C  D
With your general lack of paying it any attention.
     E
Your stomach is empty, your body is tired.
   G
It burns every time you try closing your eyes
        A                                                E
And the dullest of pain has made camp north of your cerebellum.
 
[Chorus]
        C     D  E
But the world is saved, if you like.
    C D  E
The hero hangs up his sword as he says his goodbye.
         C                 D
But then where does he go? What does he do?
      E
The adventure is over, so where does that leave you
         C     D  A
When the world is saved?
 
[Verse 3]
            E                G
The curtain falls. The music plays.
            A               D         E
The credits roll and it all fades… to black.
           E                                G
And you’re left by yourself. The fanfare is gone.
                  A               D                       A
There’s no player 2 there by your side to share victories won.
 
                     E
But as you slowly progress
                      G
down the hall to your bed,
            A      D
a few great events
                    E
leak back into your head.
 
                        E
From the time that you spent
               G
Traversing the land,
         A                  D                      A
Battling evil, fighting the darkness just sword in hand.
                    E
Your memories creep in
                     G
With the edge of a smile.
             A    D
You realize again
                    E
what you lost for a while
                             E
You’re gonna think back much less
                     G
On how you saved the day
         A   D
Than on all
               A
The experience gained.
 
                 E
At the end of it all,
                    G
Gamers play what we play.
              A
Not for GAME OVER,
     D                 E
But rather for what we take a-way!
 
[Outro]
    E     D  A
The world is saved!
        E
But who cares?!
        D                A
We both know that that’s not what you came for.
C                        E
Your next adventure is already in sight
           D
And you’re all set to go
         A
You’re excited to see what’s all wrong 'till it’s right
        E     D  A
And the world is saved.
                                  E    D   A
Though you’re more along for the ride.
                           E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.
                          E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.
                          E   D   A
You’re more along for the ride.
