[Intro:] (Ring out chords)

C5                                              A5
This may be the last thing that I write for long
C5                                              A5
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song?
       G5                  C~
For you and only you

[Verse 1:]
    C5                                            A5
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye?
    C5                                            A5
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye?
     G5                                                         F5
My foot is out the door and you can't stop me now


[Pre-chorus:]

A5
You wanted the best
             F5
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                          C5
Now I'll take the lead
                                              G5
When there's no more room to make it grow

A5
I'll see you again
                               F5
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                           C5
Is this what you need?
                           G5
How you end up? Let me know


[Chorus:]

C5                                             A5
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F5
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G5
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C5
This is the last song


[Verse 2:]

C5                                                A5
   The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
C5                                              A5
   The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
       G5                                            
It seems so surreal, And now I sing it

C5                                                A5
  Somehow I knew that it would be this way
C5                                                A5
  Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade
     G5                                              F5
Now I am gone, Just try and stop me now


[Pre-chorus:]

A5
You wanted the best
             F5
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                          C5
Now I'll take the lead
                                              G5
When there's no more room to make it grow

A5
I'll see you again
                               F5
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                           C5
Is this what you need?
                           G5
How you end up? Let me know


[Chorus:]

C5                                             A5
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F5
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G5
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C5
This is the last song

[Interlude]


[Bridge:]
C5
Will you need me now
A5
You'll find a way somehow
G5
You wanted to
C5
I want it too


Chorus:

C5                                             A5
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F5
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G5
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C5
This is the last song

C5                                             A5
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F5
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G5
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C5
This is the last song
