Matthew West – The Last Song (Guitar)

           F     C/E      Dm
I've sung songs about my roots

     Bb              F
and songs about my dreams

 F    C/E       Dm
Songs about the people

    Bb              Csus4 C
who mean the most to me

     F      C/E     Dm
Like songs about my kids

    Bb              F
and songs about my wife

     Gm               F          Bb   C    F
It's how I tell the story, the story of my life

          F      C/E      Dm
I've sung songs about my Jesus

    Bb              F
and songs about my sin

  F    C/E     Dm
Songs about my fallin' down

     Bb              Csus4 C
and gettin' back up again

F      C/E     Dm
Songs about forgiveness

    Bb                F
and songs about Your grace

     Gm               F
It's how I tell the story

      Bb    C       F
of a life forever changed

   Dm                            F
As long as I am breathing I will lift a melody

         C
It's just my way of saying,

             Dm
"Thank You, Lord, for loving me"

        Bb
I could sing a thousand songs about

    F       C/E       Dm
how good to me You've been

    Gm                F
So I'll just keep on singing

   Bb      C        F
until the last song ends

     F       C/E       Dm
I've sung in cars and offices

         Bb          F
when the radio comes on

    F     C/E       Dm
And on a thousand stages

          Bb           Csus4 C
while the crowd sings along

    F         C/E       Dm
But when the lights go out

    Bb                F
and when the show is done

Gm                  F
My heart keeps on singing to

    Bb   C       F
an audience of One

   Dm                            F
As long as I am breathing I will lift a melody

      C
It's just my way of saying,

             Dm
"Thank You, Lord, for loving me"

         Bb
I could sing a thousand songs about

    F       C/E       Dm
how good to me You've been

    Gm                 F
So I'll just keep on singing

   Bb       C        F
until the last song ends

     F          C/E      Dm
Some songs they might remember,

 Bb              F
most they will forget

    F        C/E       Dm
But thanks to You, my greatest song

 Bb               Csus4 C
hasn't been heard yet

       F       C/E    Dm
'Cause if this is my last,

                Bb               F
it won't be the last one that I sing

        Gm                  F
There's one more song that will live

        Bb   C    F
on for all eternity

      Dm                               F
I'll join with all the angels singing heaven's melody

          C
And I'll tell You face to face,

               Dm
"Thank You, Lord, for loving me"

      Bb
I'll praise Your name forever,

      F         C/E      Dm
can't wait for that day when

    Gm                F
The last song that I sing

          Bb         C      Dm
will be a song that never ends

        Gm                 F
Oh, the last song that I sing

          Csus4/Bb  C      F
will be a song that never ends
