Final Straw Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]As I raise my head to
broad[G]cast my [Em]objec[Am]tion
As your latest triumph
draws [G]the final [Am]straw
Who died and lifted you [G]up to [Em]perfec[Am]tion?
And what silenced me is writ[G]ten [Am]into law

[Verse 2]
[Am]
I [G]can't believe where
circumstance has [Am]thrown me
And I [G]turn my head [Am]away
If [G]I look I'm not sure that I could [Am]face you
Not [Em]again. Not [G]today. Not today.
[Am]

[Verse 3]
If hatred makes a play [G]on me [Em]tomor[Am]row
And forgiveness takes a back
[G]seat to [Am]revenge
There's a hurt down deep that has
[G]not been [Am]corrected
There's a voice in me
that says [G]you will [Am]not win

[Verse 4]
[Am]
And [G]if I ignore the [Am]voice inside
Raise a [G]half glass to my [Am]home
But it's [G]there that I am [Am]most afraid
And [Em]forgetting doesn't
[G]hold. It doesn't hold.
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Now [C]I don't believe
and I never did
[Am]That two wrongs make a right
If the [C]world were filled
with the likes of [Am]you
Then I'm putting up a fight.
I'm putting up a fight[C].
Putting up a fight[Am]. Make it [Em]right.
[G]Make it right.
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Now love cannot be called
[G]into [Em]quest[Am]ion
Forgiveness is the [G]only hope [Am]I hold
And love - love will be [G]my
[Em]strongest [Am]weapon
I do believe that I [G]am not [Am]alone

[Verse 7]
[Am]
For this [G]fear will not [Am]destroy me
And [G]the tears that have been [Am]shed
It's knowing [G]now where I [Am]am weakest
And [Em]the voice in my [G]head. In my [Am]head.

[Verse 8]
Then I [G]raise my voice up [Am]higher
And I [G]look you in the [Am]eye
And I [G]offer love with one
con[Am]dition
With convic[Em]tion, tell me [G]why.
Tell me [Am]why.
Tell [Em]me why.
Look me in the [G]eye.

[Outro 1]
Tell me why.
[Am][Em][G][Am]
