Intro: G Bm Am7 C (2x)


G              Bm                    C                   G 
 Just when the last of the smoke subsides you'll see my fingers 
G            Bm        Am7               D 
 Hoisting my body up atop the charred debris 
G            Bm                Em                 Bm 
 Who is that creature with the crazed look in his eyes? 
C           G 
 Don't even question your senses 
C                      D 
You can be sure that's me 
             Em                 G 
When all the pretenders to your hand  
    C               D 
lie dead across the land, 

            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
          G     D             G 
Crawling around, down on the ground 

G              Bm                C                 G          
 When the Hail Marys you've been saying lose their savor 
G               Bm                  Am7                 D 
 Just when your dungeon walls feel like they're closing in 
G                Bm              Em                Bm 
 Whose are those bloody knuckles reaching down to grab you 
C            G                      C               D 
 Just as the last of the light overhead is growing dim? 
       Em                         G 
It was their love you wanted, not mine 
                C                  D 
But when they deny your name three times 

            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
          G     D             G 
Crawling around, down on the ground 

Em           D                   G 
 And I will throw you across my shoulders 
Em           D                G 
 And I will bleed and I will drool 
Em        D                C             G 
 And the cameras will slow pan across my face 
Em          F                    D 
 And I will try to say something cool 

G            Bm                   C              G    
 Just as the hoardes of thirsting demons close around us 
G              Bm                 Am7            D 
 Raising their axes, howling like monkeys in the sun 
G              Bm             Em            Bm 
 Who will that guy be holding you so high above them? 
C              G               C                 D  
 You know and I know, everyone knows it, I'm the one 
           Em                 G 
I may have failed you once before 
          C                     D 
But this right here, this means war 

            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
            G    Bm      C        D 
I'll be the last man on earth 
          G     D             G 
Crawling around, down on the ground
