The Last Straw - Happy Ending Chords

Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: Am G F Am C D Am G F Am C D Am G F Hotel hobbies padding dawn's hollow corridors Am C D A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories Am G F Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare Am C D Opening the doors for the dreams to come home [Bridge 1A] Eb F7 We live our lives in private shells Eb F7 Ignore our senses and fool ourselves Eb F7 To thinking that out there that someone else cares Eb F7 Dm Someone to answer all our prayers, all our prayers

Verse: Am G F Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible Am C D Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care Am G F We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine Am C D Pretending the end isn't quite that near Am G F We make futile gestures, act to the cameras Am C D With our made-up faces and our PR smiles Am G F And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us Am C D We'll find out that after all, we're only men of straw [Bridge 1B] Eb F7 But everything is still the same Eb F7 Passing the time and passing the blame Eb F7 We carry on in the same old way Eb F7 We'll find out we left it too late one day Dm7 To say what we meant to say Bridge 2: Cm Cm Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water Cm Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of Cm The feeling you get is similar to something like drowning Cm Out of your mind, you're out of your depth, you should have taken soundings Cm Clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws C Fm Eb Db Fm Ab Bb Fm Eb Db Fm Ab Bb Fm Eb Db Fm Ab Bb Fm Eb Db Fm Ab Bb Cm Bb Ab Cm Eb F Cm Bb Ab And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy Cm Eb F You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands Cm Bb Ab Cm Eb F And you'll recognise by the reflection in our eyes that deep down inside we're all one and the same Chorus: Cm We're clutching at straws Bb Ab We're still drowning Cm Clutching at straws Eb F We're still drowning, yeah Bridge 3: Cm Bb Ab Clutching at straws Cm Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm (I'm still drowning) Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm (I’m still drowning) Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm (I'm still drowning) Eb F We’re clutching at straws Outro: Cm I'm still drowning Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning, drowning Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Eb F We're clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Bb Ab We’re clutching at straws Cm I'm still drowning Eb F We're clutching at straws
