[Verse 1]

(A augmentedA)           Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD
You know the reasons I can't conceal
             Gsus2Gsus2           D MajorD
You know I'm leaving you; Obviously, you know how I feel
          Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD      A augmentedA
It's not as easy as callin' out your name when I'm down
           Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD
It's not a matter for wrong or right
             Gsus2Gsus2          D MajorD
It ain't much better than drinking and looking to fight
           Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD       A augmentedA
You know I'm tired of crawling 'hind my name among the crowd


[Chorus]

      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
     Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD       A augmentedA
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down

[Verse 2]

(A augmentedA)            Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD
You've made them wonder and know for sure
              Gsus2Gsus2            D MajorD
You've made them hunger at night and then run for the door
            Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD       A augmentedA
You know you'll probably cry like Caesar's son when you're found
             Gsus2Gsus2       D MajorD
It's not your face, it's another town
           Gsus2Gsus2          D MajorD
Let's face it baby; I'm up and then baby, I'm down
            Gsus2Gsus2        D MajorD       A augmentedA
You'll watch the border offer you fame-    and watch you drown

[Chorus]

      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
     Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD       A augmentedA
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down

[Bridge]

Gsus2Gsus2           D MajorD
 Know your neighbors and know they'll take us
Gsus2Gsus2         D MajorD
 Know my city, it's just like theirs are
Gsus2Gsus2        D MajorD             A augmentedA
 Hope I make it, I know I'm gonna make it somehow
Gsus2Gsus2        D MajorD
 Know my savior, he knows you shakers
Gsus2Gsus2        D MajorD
 Know my pity, I'll see you later
Gsus2Gsus2          D MajorD             A augmentedA
 I'd like to stay but I know it doesn't matter somehow

[Outro]

      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to the north land
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my homeland
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
I'm on the last american exit to my last chance
     Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD
They keep callin' out my name
     Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD
They keep callin' out my name
     Gsus2Gsus2      D MajorD       A augmentedA
They keep callin' out my name, I shout it down
