The last song (1992)     (video)

 

    C - Am - F - G - C

 

       C                               Am  

1. Yesterday you came to lift me up,

         F                                              C

    as light as straw and brittle as a bird,

         Dm                                 Am

    today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall,

                               G                             G7

    just one more whisper of a voice unheard.

 

           C                        Am

2. Tomorrow leave the windows open,

           F                                                      C

    as fear grows, please hold me in your arms.

                      Dm                                Am

    Won‘t you help me if you can, to shake this anger ?

                         G                                     G7

    I need your gentle hands to keep me calm.

 

                 C                                  G

‘Cause I never thought I‘d lose, I only thought I‘d win,

   Am                                     Em

I never dreamed I‘d feel this fire beneath my skin.

                               F                                                C      - Am

I can‘t believe you love me, I never thought you‘d come,

                                 C                       F        G          C

I guess I misjudged love between a father and his son.

 

+  C - Am - F - G

 

        C                              Am

3. Things we never said come together,

            F                                                C

    the hidden truth no longer haunting me.

         Dm                                  Am

    Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken,

                        G                                   G7

    that kind of understanding sets me free.

 

                 C                                  G

‘Cause I never thought I‘d lose, I only thought I‘d win,

   Am                                     Em

I never dreamed I‘d feel this fire beneath my skin.

                               F                                                C      - Am

I can‘t believe you love me, I never thought you‘d come,

                                 C                       F        G          C

I guess I misjudged love between a father and his son.
