Final Straw

Dm

Dm                        C      
As I raise my head to broadcast 
         Dm
my objection
                          C     
As your latest triumph draws the 
            Dm
final straw
                     C       
Who died and lifted you up to 
    Dm
perfection?
                       C           
And what silenced me is written 
     Dm
into law.

C                                 
I can't believe where circumstance
       Dm
 has thrown me
      C              Dm
And I turn my head away
      C                            
If I look I'm not sure that I could
 Dm
 face you.
      Am         C           Dm
Not again. Not today. Not today.

Dm                   C    
If hatred makes a play on me 
         Dm
tomorrow
                         C         
And forgiveness takes a back seat 
     Dm
to revenge
                               C 
There's a hurt down deep that has 
              Dm
not been corrected
                                 C 
There's a voice in me that says you
              Dm
 will not win.

   C                  Dm
And if I ignore the voice inside,
  C                       Dm
Raise a half glass to my home.
 C                     Dm
But it's there that I am most 
afraid,
            Am           C    
And forgetting doesn't hold. it 
           Dm
doesn't hold.

F
Now I don't believe and I never did
      Dm
That two wrongs make a right.
         F
If the world were filled with the 
likes of you
         Dm                     
Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm 
               F
putting up a fight.
              Dm               Am 
Putting up a fight. make it right.
           C             Dm
 make it right.

      Dm            C        
Now love cannot be called into 
          Dm
question.
                    C              
Forgiveness is the only hope I 
  Dm
hold.
                 C                 
And love,  love will be my 
   Dm
strongest weapon.
                     C          Dm
I do believe that I am not alone.

          C                    Dm
For this fear will not destroy me.
          C                   Dm
And the tears that have been shed
       C                    Dm
It's knowing now where I am weakest
         Am          C        
And the voice in my head. in my 
    Dm
head.

        C                  Dm
Then I raise my voice up higher
        C             Dm
And I look you in the eye
       C                     Dm
And I offer love with one condition.
       Am                 C
With conviction, tell me why.
        Dm
Tell me why.
        Am
Tell me why.
                C
Look me in the eye.
        Dm
Tell me why.
