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
