Every Famous Last Word

G   D


[Verse 1]
               G
Alphabet you $20
                           D
You'll forget that time in college
                  G
On a stiff ledge, announcing something
                   D
To a bunch of kids bent on collapsing


[Chorus]
G
"for every famous last word
            D
There are a million last words that no one's ever heard
G                                      D
For every famous last word there are a million last words

And they're last words that no one's heard"


[Interlude]
G   D


[Verse 2]
                          G
Well, you got it stuck in my head, I want mine to sound smart
                     D
To ring and ring for hours, To break my mother's heart
                          G
Well, you got it stuck in my head, I want mine to sound smart
                     D
To ring and ring and ring and ring and ring, to ring and ring and ring


[Chorus]
G
Cuz there are millions of words
         D
That all sound like other words I could've sworn i heard
G
There are millions of words
          D
That just don't work as well as that one word


[Bridge]
Em                       A
No, i think i'm cracking up
                       Em
It's too polished and pretty
              A
Dishonest and lumbering
                Bm
So you can keep sleeping
                A
Just break my apology
     Bm
Into sparks in the air you're breathing
A
Remember when it used to be my air?


[Outro]
D
Back before we fought so much
      G
And i proved i wasn't strong enough
   D
To convince myself into convincing you;
        G
I was a prince before the hospital, and then
D
I was a trapdoor waiting to swallow you
G
I was a picked lock, a broken bicycle
  D
Immobilized and hanging in place
     G                                 Bm
Just nodding my head and hiding my face in my hands
  G         A    D
Auditioning my escape plan
