All-american Rejects - The Last Song Chords & Tabs

Capo on the 1st Fret.

[Intro:] (Ring out chords)

C                                              Am
This may be the last thing that I write for long
C                                              Am
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song?
       G                  C~
For you and only you

[Verse 1:]
    C                                            Am
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye?
    C                                            Am
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye?
     G                                                         F
My foot is out the door and you can't stop me now


[Pre-chorus:]

Am
You wanted the best
             F
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                          C
Now I'll take the lead
                                              G
When there's no more room to make it grow

Am
I'll see you again
                               F
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                           C
Is this what you need?
                           G
How you end up? Let me know


[Chorus:]

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C
This is the last song


[Verse 2:]

C                                                Am
   The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
C                                              Am
   The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
       G                                            
It seems so surreal, And now I sing it
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/all-american_rejects/the_last_song_crd.html ]
C                                                Am
  Somehow I knew that it would be this way
C                                                Am
  Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade
     G                                              F
Now I am gone, Just try and stop me now


[Pre-chorus:]

Am
You wanted the best
             F
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                          C
Now I'll take the lead
                                              G
When there's no more room to make it grow

Am
I'll see you again
                               F
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                           C
Is this what you need?
                           G
How you end up? Let me know


[Chorus:]

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C
This is the last song

[Interlude]


[Bridge:]
C
Will you need me now
Am
You'll find a way somehow
G
You wanted to
C
I want it too


Chorus:

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C
This is the last song

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C
This is the last song
