Last Person chords by Jenny Owen Youngs

No Capo

Intro: C   Am   F   C

 C                            Am
Well you're sitting on the barstool

 F                       C
Keeping motionless as you can be

 C                       Am
Thinking maybe if you lucky

 F                                                 C                    G                Am
Life is like T-Rex and stillness will sweep you away

 G            C
To where it’s safe

 C                                    Am
Cause you're feeling like the last person

 F                    C
Left on the planet tonight

 C                       Am
And you’re scanning the horizon

 F                                                          C                   G    Am
 Seeking out sign of life and you pray you're wrong but you're right

 G         C
So hold on tight

 C                                 Dm                                F                   C
Cause all that stares back at you are bloodless zombie eyes

 C                         Dm          F                      C                    Am          Dm          F
Why don't you come home with me tonight, alright, alright

 Am                                         G                                C                   F
I'm not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal

 Am                  G                       C
I just know exactly how you feel

 Am                                      G                        C                        F
I could be the one you reach for in the middle of the night

 Am                 G                                C       F
Let me be the one who treats you right

 Am                 G                                C
Let me be the one who treats you right


Now I know you never seen me
There's no reason for you to pay mind
But I'm asking very nicely
All it takes is one chance to start leaving the dead behind
And try out a walking life
I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen
We find out that we don't fit
But on the flipside we could be just right
And sure there's a chance that we'll both and up broken and split
But that’s my kind of risk
So quit worrying where they'll fall if you should roll the dice
Why don't you come home with me tonight, alright, alright
I'm not trying to make you think this is some kind of great big deal
I just know exactly how you feel
I could be the one you reach for in the middle of the night
Let me be the one who treats you right
Let me be the one who treats you right
