The Last One

C                      Am
Arms once bent towards me,
F                  C G
now caught in hesitation
C            Am
Legs once dancing,
F            C  G
now wandering in place
Am    Bm   C   Am  G
Words once promising,
C       Am      Em
to do, to have, to hold
Am    Bm   C   Am  G
What's worth saving,
        C           Am   Em
just to watch each other drown
G
Am I wrong?

C
Oh here we are, here we are, here we
 are, dear
       Am
Are we near to the end, saving our 
breath?
    F
Our histories bound, cold to our 
chest

 C                      G
Did I fail you? Did I fail love?
C
Here I am stealing the heat from 
your back
Am
Still tracing the wall where your 
shadow was cast
     F
With every voice whispering to us,
         C              G
"It's not lost! It's not lost!"

           C           Am
I tried to love you in disguise
           F               C G
I built an altar to your silence
  C                     Am
I meant to undraw every line
F                          C G
Wore your loneliness so fondly
Am             Bm  C   Am     G
Could you keep the restless still?
           C        Am        Em
The future stuck inside your throat
Am     Bm     C   Am G
What's worth letting go?
              C        F   Am  
I can't tell selfishness from 
Em     G
love anymore

C
Oh here we are, here we are, here we
 are, dear
       Am
Are we near to the end, straining to
 hold
C     F                          
This ghost of a thing, alien 
        C
being that was once love?
             G
Is it still love?
 C
And here I am stealing the cloth 
from your back
       Am
Still pulling out every thread for a
 song
    F
And maybe I'll stay, or maybe I'll 
hear
    C              G
The tiniest voice whispering to me
   C              Am            F
