[Em]
[C(maj7)]We took the highway till the road went [Bm]black
We marked [C]Truth or Consequences on our [Bm]map
A voice [C]drifted up from the radi[Bm]o
e|-----------| B|-----------| G|---2b4r2---| this is put in mainly before and end of chorus! D|-----------| A|-----------| E|-----------|
[Em] Some other voice from long ago
Who'll be the [C]last to die for a mistake,
The [G]last to die for [D]a mistake
Whose [D]blood will spill, whose [Em]heart will break?
Who'll be the [D]last to die . . . for a mis[Em]take
Riff (1x)
[C] [Bm]
[C]The kid's asleep in the back [Bm]seat
We're just [C]counting the miles you and [Bm]me
We don't [C]measure the blood we've drawn any[Bm]more
We just [Em] stack the bodies outside the door
Who'll be the [C]last to die for a mistake,
The [G]last to die for [D]a mistake
Whose [D]blood will spill, whose [Em]heart will break?
Who'll be the [D]last to die . . . for a mis[Am]take
[(Am)]The wise men were all [Em]fools. What to [D]do?
Riff (2x)
[C]C [Bm]Em (note variation in chord under the riff)
[B] The sun it sets in flames[Em] as the city burns
[B] Another day gone down [C]as the night turns
And [G]I hold [D]you here in my [C]heart
As [G]things [F#]fall [E]a-[D]part
[C] A downtown window flushed with [Bm]life
[C]Faces of the dead at [Bm]five
[C] Her martyr's silent [Bm]eyes
[Em] Petition the drivers as we pass by
Who'll be the [C]last to die for a mistake,
The [G]last to die for [D]a mistake
Whose [D]blood will spill, whose [Em]heart will break?
Who'll be the [D]last to die . . .
Who'll be the [C]last to die for a mistake,
The [G]last to die for [D]a mistake
Darling your [D]tyrants and kings fall [Em]to the same fate
[G]Strung up at your [D]city gates
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake [(C)]
Riff (2x)
[C]C [Bm]Em (again variation)
