Intro: Em C G x2
verse 1
Em
You and I were stuck in the waste
C
Talking about our salad days
G
What a damn lie
Em
But you and I are stuck like glue
C
And that's the God damn truth
G
Baby, bye-bye
Pre-Chorus
Em
Well, you could turn to water and we'd all float on
C
Give up trying to be someone
G
Take your head apart
Free your own heart
Em
You and I are stuck out of phase
C G
Always begging for some grace when there's no time
Am
We get no reply
[Refrão]
Em D
Every night you were tripping out
Em D
In the morning you were coming down

If it's breaking your heart, if nothing is fun
Am
Don't lose hope, my son
This is the last one
Em C G
verse 2
Em
You and I repent of our sins
C G
Yeah, we feel so Ammerican laying in the road
Em
Was a shoe-in for the crash of the day
C
And we're never going to walk away
G
Never going home
Pre-Chorus
Em
I'm hoping that in time, you can lay down
C G
All this weight you've been carrying around and maybe one day
You'll find your way
Em
To climb on up out of your grave
C
With the bits of you you managed to save
G
And for the last time
Am
Yeah, you say good-bye
[Refrão]

Don't lose hope, my son
This is the last one

'Cause every night had you laid low
Em D
It's going to feel so good to let it go
G
It's all in your head, your race is run
Am
Don't give up, my son, this is the last one
This is the last one
