C(maj7)                                Bm 
We took the highway till the road went black 
          C                            Bm 
We marked Truth or Consequences on our map 
        C                       Bm 
A voice drifted up from the radio

 Some other voice from long ago 
              C       
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake, 
    G               D 
The last to die for a mistake 
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break? 
              D                          Em 
Who'll be the last to die . . . for a mistake 
Riff (1x) 
C  Bm 
C                            Bm 
The kid's asleep in the back seat 
           C                          Bm 
We're just counting the miles you and me 
         C                                Bm 
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore 
        Em 
We just  stack the bodies outside the door 
              C       
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake, 
    G               D 
The last to die for a mistake 
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break? 
              D                          Am 
Who'll be the last to die . . . for a mistake 
(Am)                  Em             D 
The wise men were all fools. What to do? 
Riff (2x) 
C   Bm 
C   Em  (note variation in chord under the riff) 
B                         Em 
 The sun it sets in flames as the city burns 
B                      C 
 Another day gone down as the night turns 
    G      D              C 
And I hold you here in my heart 
   G      F#   E D 
As things fall a-part 
C                               Bm 
 A downtown window flushed with life 
C                    Bm 
Faces of the dead at five 
C                    Bm 
 Her martyr's silent eyes 
Em 
 Petition the drivers as we pass by 
              C       
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake, 
    G               D 
The last to die for a mistake 
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break? 
              D                 
Who'll be the last to die . . . 
              C       
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake, 
    G               D 
The last to die for a mistake 
             D                      Em   
Darling your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate 
G                 D 
Strung up at your city gates 
                                                  (C) 
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake 
Riff (2x)
