Intro: 
G D A Bm A 
G D A 


 
    G                         D 
I'm living with a knife in my side 
          A                      Bm 
I'm gonna take it for a joy ride 
    A             G 
You left when you gave it 
              D                 A 
What criminal training, a sorry curse 
            G                    D 
And they're daring me to pull it out 
              A                      Bm 
I'll probably keep it for a lifetime 
     A        G                          D 
I'll probably name it, then care for and claim it 
              A 
That's how it works 
 

 
     G      D 
When you go ruin my life 
Bm                     A 
In the worst way right at the wrong time 
     G        D              A 
When I'd have followed you blind, mm 
         G       D 
And then I'll go out of my mind 
F#m                 Bm            A 
Shifting my weight over the cliff side 
G                 D             A 
Takin' my chance, rolling the dice 
                             G 
This should be the last time 
     D                       A 
This should be the last time 
     Bm            A         G 
This should be the last time 
     D                       A 
This should be th last time (Oh) 
 

 
        G                            D 
And I'm living with the ghost of you like 
              A                     Bm 
You'r riding shotgun on my long drives 
     A         G                  D 
It's your destination, your radio station 
             A 
Your song, rehearsed, oh-woah 
        G 
They're daring me to kick you out 
D             F#m             Bm 
I'll probably feel you 'til I die 
    A          G                  D 
But I'll never face you or ever replace you 
           A 
It doesn't work 
 

 
       G      D 
'Cause you go ruin my life 
Bm                  A 
Flatten my days and wrecking my nights 
     G       D           A 
I'll be here doing my time, oh 
         G       D 
You know I'll go out of my mind 
F#m                 Bm           A 
Banging my cage and crossing the line 
G                     D           A 
I'll never get it out if I never try 
                             G 
This should be the last time 
    A          Em    A 
'Ime ('Ime), 'ime, 'ime 
                          G 
This should be the last time 
 

 
                 A 
We know it won't when you're 
              Em 
Holding court from your pedestal 
A 
Can't you come down? 
G                   A 
Showing no remorse, you're impossible 
Em                   A 
I was strong before I got knocked down 
 

 
    G        D 
And you just ruined my life 
Bm                   A 
Knowing that I'll be further from fine 
    G         D            A 
I'm all bark, never would bite, ooh 
G         D 
I've gone out of my mind 
F#m                Bm 
Pouring my case of kerosene 
A       G                      D                 A 
I'll be burning this down, but keeping your knife 

This won't be the last time
