Last Song
Still on the workbench. This one's a working draft. The words or chords may change before it's done.
Penciled in as track 12 on GROUNDWORK at one point, but Ever-Young got the spot. My notes say the lyrics still need a rewrite.

Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 2 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Right place, wrong time, too late to die young
At this point what are we waiting on
There's gotta be a better way, I'm sure
This is the last song, that I - sing for you
Haunted, Haunted by promises you've made
Well, - I'd say probably more by the ones broken
Thanks Dad, Well, Step-dad - this is a lesson learned
You might hit the one, but I'll keep the other eye open
But, This is the last song, that I'll sing for you
Cause the game has gone for too long - already
So this is the last song that I sing for you
They love you the most when you're gone - gone - gone - gone
I got plans, purpose - like everybody else
and I can also be no fun to be around, at least so I'm told
But I've got a change in queue and I can't start any more
From the roots of my soul, with a story to be sold
Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
But, This is the last song, that I'll sing for you
Cause the game has gone for too long - already
So this is the last song that I sing for you
They love you the most when you're gone - gone - gone - gone
Where will I be?
Where do we go, from here?
Lost into obscurity
And just like that I'm gone
Chorus ThreeSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
But, This is the last song, that I'll sing for you
Cause the game has gone for too long - already
So this is the last song that I sing for you
They love you the most when you're gone - gone - gone - gone
Chorus FourSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.
But, This is the last song, that I'll sing for you
Cause the game has gone for too long - already
So this is the last song that I sing for you
They love you the most when you're gone - gone - gone - gone
OutroSame as Bridge. Tap to open.
Where will I be?
Where do we go, from here?
Lost into obscurity
And just like that I'm gone
