The Last Song

Key: A

Introduction:  C   F   C   C   F   C  

 C                             F   C 
Born on a tear
                                         F                                                   C               F   C 
That seeps from the dagger shaped hole in your heart
 C                                     F   C 
Wounds that run deep
                                   F                                             G 
Well I'll try to patch them as best as I can
                 C                       G/B                     F 
If the sun melts the black of the street
                 C                             G/B                     F 
And the long road home sticks to your feet
                   C                   G/B                     Am 
When the music that frees you has all but been used up
           F                         G                         C           F   C 
Then I'll sing the last song for you
 C 
I hate to see your heart breaking
 F                                             C             F   C 
I'll hold it safe in my hands
     C                         G/B                   Am                                 Am/G 
I don't know if my words can bind it together
         F                       G                     C   C/B   Am 
But that's all I know how to do
       F                         G                           C             F   C 
So I'll sing the last song for you

 C                             F   C 
I ain't got much
                       F                                             C       F   C 
That I can give you, to keep you afloat
 C                             F   C 
Mumbled comforts
                                 F                                   G 
Are no use for wrestling demons, I know
                 F                                     G 
But a lopsided smile and a lovesick recital
             E                                         F 
Might loosen the burden for now
             C                 G/B                 F 
The penultimate beat of the drum
                 C               G/B                       F 
As the second to last chord is strummed
           C                   G/B                   Am 
When all other words have already been heard
 F                         G                         C     C/B   Am 
I'll sing the last song for you
 F                         G                         C     C/B   Am 
I'll sing the last song for you
 F                         G                         Am   Am/G 
I'll sing the last song for you
 F                         G                         C 
I'll sing the last song for you
( A )
                     A                         E 
Something everlast, happy, sad
                                 C#m7                                                   F#m 
something to remind you all the best you ever had
                     Bm                                 D7M 
something magical, something tangible
                     A     C#m7   F#m   F# 
something true, so true
 F#/E               D 
through the restless night
                         E 
drenched in pale moon light
     C#m7                                                   D7M 
A lullaby, to lie there by your side
                   D 
Just you close your eyes
                   E 
Dream of cloudly skies
                       A       D             A             D 
Drift to sleep
             A                                     E 
Feel colors fall through your hands
                 C#m7                                                             F#m 
And the evening tide poured ripples on the sand
                 Bm 
As the sun goes down
                 D7M 
And the stars come out
                 A         C#m7   F#m  F# 
And the breeze, it sings
 F#/E         D 
Twilight melodies
                   E 
Put your mind at ease
                 C#m7         D 
Let the clutter fly, way from you tonight
                   D 
And this lullaby
                 E 
Will caress your eyes
                   A           D             A             D 
Drift to sleep
                           Bm 
And when the morning comes
                           D 
And all your blue have gone
                 A             D             A             D             A 
Think of me
