So this is odd,

    Cmaj7                 A7(no 3rd)      C5
the painful realization that has all gone wrong.

    Cmaj7          A7(no3rd)              C5
And nobody cares at all,

Cmaj7              A7(no3rd)              C5
and nobody cares at all.

       G5              Gsus2     G
So you buried all your lover's clothes

    Cmaj7      C5     Cmaj7   C5
and burned the letters lover wrote,

       Asus2   A5      Am  Asus2
but it doesn't make it any better.

Cmaj7   C5      Cmaj7  C5
Does it make it any    better?

G5                     Gsus2     G
And the plaster dented from your fist

       Cmaj7      C5      Cmaj7      C5
in the hall where you had your first kiss

Asus2 A5 Am Asus2

   C5   Cmaj7   C5
reminds you that the mem - o - ries will--- fade.

Cmaj7     A7(no3rd)     C5
So this is strange,

    Cmaj7                        A7(no3rd)  C5
our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance

      Cmaj7          A7(no3rd)       C5
where nobody leads at all,

      Cmaj7          A7(no 3rd)
where nobody leads at all.           G5

        G5                 Gsus2  G
And the picture frames are facing down

        Cmaj7    C5        Cmaj7     C5
and the ringing from this empty ---- sound

Asus2 A5 Am Asus2 Cmaj7

  C5
is deafening and keeping you from sleep.

     G5            Gsus2   G
And breathing is a foreign task

    Cmaj7       C5      Cmaj7    C5
and thinking's just too much to ask

Asus2 A5 Am Asus2

       C5        Cmaj7    C5
and you're measuring your minutes by a -- clock that's blinking eights.

G5        Cmaj7
This is incredible.

G6          G
Starving, insatiable,

C/E          Em           Cadd2        Fsus2
yes, this is love for the first time.

           G5                 G6          G
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.

Gsus4 C/E Em Cadd2 Fsus2

     G5    Cmaj7  G6
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?

      G          C/E   Em        Cadd2
Well this is the last time.

Fsus2
This is the last time... This is the last time.

This is the last time.
