	  		Intro:  C Bm 2x   Em 

  

   C                                   Bm 
We took the highway till the road went black  
          C                            Bm 
We marked Truth or Consequences on our map  
        C                       Bm 
A voice drifted up from the radio  


Em 
Some other voice from long ago:  
               C 
 Who ll be the last to die for a mistake,  
    G               D 
the last to die for a mistake  
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?  
              D                     Em 
Who ll be the last to die, for a mistake? 

  

C Bm 


    C                        Bm 
The kid's asleep in the back seat,  
           C                          Bm 
we're just counting the miles you and me  
         C                                Bm 
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore;  
        Em 
we just stack the bodies outside the door  
               C 
 Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,  
    G               D 
the last to die for a mistake  
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?  
              D                     Em 
Who'll be the last to die, for a mistake? 
  

    Am                Em             D 
The wise men were all fools; what to do?  

  
C Bm 2x 

  
B7                        Em          C 
The sun it sets in flames as the city burns;  
B7                    Em           C 
another day gone down as the night turns  
    G          D          C 
And I hold you here in my heart,  
          G     D 
as things fall apart  


  C                            Bm 
A downtown window flushed with life;  
C                    Bm 
faces of the dead at five (faces dead at five) 
C                    Bm 
Her martyr's silent eyes;  
Em 
petition the drivers as we pass by: 
               C 
 Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,  
    G               D 
the last to die for a mistake  
      D                       Em 
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?  
              D 
Who'll be the last to die? 
               C 
 Who'll be the last to die for a mistake?  
    G               D 
The last to die for a mistake?  
             D                      Em 
Darling your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate;  
G                 D 
strung up at your city gates  
              C                    Em 
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake?
