The Last Song

[Intro]  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

[Solo]  F  G  E  F
        F  G  C  F  C
        F  C  F  C

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
