Verse 1

    A minorAm               Am/F#
It's a cold and lonely message at the end of a song
   G+G                E minorEm
It in-vaded hearts and minds but they couldn't get along
    A minorAm             Am/F#
It can ask you to remember it can ask you for a dance
   G+G             E minorEm
So it seems that every song now is just one last chance
