Intro: G+G B minorBm Am7Am7 C majorC   X2


G+G       B minorBm          C majorC          G+G
 Just when the last of the smoke subsides you'll see my fingers
G+G      B minorBm    Am7Am7        D MajorD
 Hoisting my body up atop the charred debris
G+G      B minorBm        E minorEm         B minorBm
 Who is that creature with the crazed look in his eyes?
C majorC      G+G
 Don't even question your senses
C majorC           D MajorD
You can be sure that's me
       E minorEm         G+G
When all the pretenders to your hand
  C majorC        D MajorD
lie dead across the land,

      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
     G+G   D MajorD       G+G
Crawling around, down on the ground

G+G       B minorBm        C majorC         G+G
 When the Hail Marys you've been saying lose their savor
G+G        B minorBm         Am7Am7         D MajorD
 Just when your dungeon walls feel like they're closing in
G+G        B minorBm       E minorEm        B minorBm
 Whose are those bloody knuckles reaching down to grab you
C majorC      G+G           C majorC        D MajorD
 Just as the last of the light overhead is growing dim?
    E minorEm             G+G
It was their love you wanted, not mine
        C majorC         D MajorD
But when they deny your name three times

      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
     G+G   D MajorD       G+G
Crawling around, down on the ground

E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G
 And I will throw you across my shoulders
E minorEm      D MajorD        G+G
 And I will bleed and I will drool
E minorEm    D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
 And the cameras will slow pan across my face
E minorEm     FF          D MajorD
 And I will try to say something cool

G+G      B minorBm          C majorC       G+G
 Just as the hoardes of thirsting demons close around us
G+G       B minorBm         Am7Am7      D MajorD
 Raising their axes, howling like monkeys in the sun
G+G       B minorBm       E minorEm      B minorBm
 Who will that guy be holding you so high above them?
C majorC       G+G        C majorC         D MajorD
 You know and I know, everyone knows it, I'm the one
      E minorEm         G+G
I may have failed you once before
     C majorC           D MajorD
But this right here, this means war

      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
      G+G  B minorBm   C majorC    D MajorD
I'll be the last man on earth
     G+G   D MajorD       G+G
