The Last Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Everybody's [Am]asking me
lately where I'm from
They wanna know [Em]what I've [G]been
through [Am]and what d[G]irt I've d[Em]one
But man if I told you what I've seen and
been through then you probably run [G]off
[F]If your scared of the truth so instead
in secret lined in [Am]chalk
See I've been lost ever
since I could walk
[G]Looking for my daddy and anyone of
mamma's [Am]boyfriend[Em]s who would talk
Or listen to me when I spoke instead
of looking at me like a [G]joke[F]
Leaving me behind leaving me to cry
when you treated my [Am]mom ma like a ho
But I learned quick that my daddy
wasn't ever gonna come around
[G]And I didn't give a shit 'cause me
and my momma we held it [Em]down
No new kicks first day of school
I'm goodwill bound
[F]But when you come from the trench
that's how you learn to walk [Am]around
So I don't give a fuck if you ever lay eyes
on top of my new shoes homey
I just [Em]wanted you to know I didn't need
a dollar from you I [G]got 'em my[Em]self
So if you find yourself in the middle of the floor
with the bottle drinking yourself [G]lonely
[F]Then you can keep company with the picture of me in
the magazine on the [Am]shelf turn the page

[Verse 2]
Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show
[G]
In the magazines, hear me on the radio
[Em]So what do you think huh?
(Well I hope that your proud [F]now,
to watch it all [Am]go down)
I'm sorry daddy you didn't
get to watch me grow
[G]Now I'm always on the road
no time to say hello
[Em]Bye (and I hope that your proud now,[F]
to watch it all [Am]go down)

[Verse 3]
Yeah mamma you look great, [Am]perfect
Be safe on [G]your first date, for certain
[Em]If he brings you home too late,
I'll hurt him
[F]Don't worry bout me I'm safe
I'll close the curtains
[Am]And I feel like I'm raising you
but what do I know baby blue
[G]All I know is that I was made in you
so I put all my faith in you
[Em]Yeah I was only ten but I felt
like a man and I had to let you go
[F]All I wanted was for us to be rich
tear drops in my cereal bowl
[Am]So I turned into an asshole young and dumb
smoking [G]weed
Vandalizing, robbing houses,
stealing cars, that was me
But [Em]everything I did I had to see
Feel the pain, had to grieve
[F]To become who I am and I'm proud
of the man I [Em]came to be
[Am]What I've learned cannot be
taught
What I've earned cannot be bought
[G]Justified deserve it all
So don't be concerned it's not your fault
[Em]I never counted sheep
I count my blessing[F]s
So if you see him now momma don't give him the
cold shoulder just give him my message just [Am]tell him

[Verse 4]
Daddy can you see me? I'm putting on a show
[G]
In the magazines, hear me on the radio
[Em]So what do you think huh?
(Well I hope that your proud [F]now,
to watch it all [Am]go down)
I'm sorry daddy you didn't
get to watch me grow
[G]Now I'm always on the road
no time to say hello
[Em]Bye (and I hope that your proud now,[F]

[Outro 1]
to watch it all go down)
