C   C/B  Am    Am/G 
One last dance 
            F   F/E    G  G/F 
Here at the end of the empire 
C    C/B Am    Am/G 
Makes me cry 
             F    F/E    G  G/F  G/E 
Watchin' the Moon on the ocean 
                           C   
Where California used to be 
              Am        C 
It's not half bad, uh-oh 
                           Am       Dm 
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa 
          G           Dm 
Don't be scared, uh-oh 
                   G            Dm 
Just chronically impaired, uh-oh 
             G          Dm 
Just take my hand, uh-oh 
                Dm/C 
Standin' at the end of 
     G       G/F 
The American Empire 


C   C/B  Am    Am/G 
One last song 
            F   F/E    G G/F 
Here at the end of the movie 
     C     C/B Am    Am/G 
They seemed so sure 
                     F   F/E G  G/F 
At least, that's the way I remember 
    G/E 
The war 
                        C 
What New York used to be 
              Am       C 
It's not half bad, no 
                           Am       Dm 
Spend half your life being sad, whoa 
           G          Dm 
Don't you weep, uh-oh 
                       G          Dm 
Half your life, fast asleep, uh-oh 
             G 
Feelin' uninspired, uh-oh 
 Dm             Dm/C 
Standin' at the end of 
     G         G/F   
The American Empire 

       C              C/B     Am    Am/G 
And we know that it's time to go 
          F           F/E  G  G/F 
Heard the news on the radio 
         Em      E       Am Am/G  F 
One last round before we go 
            C          G       E 
Through the pale, atmospheric glow 

        C        C/B     Am  Am/G 
And the oxygen's getting low 
       F            F/E     G    G/F 
Sing a song that we used to know 
         Em      E       Am  Am/G  F 
One last round before we go 
         C       G       C   Am 
One last round before we go 
       C  Am  C 
So sad 

                       Am  
Didn't use to get high 
                           C 
Didn't use to drink, and I 
                      Am  
Didn't use to think I 
                       F          C  
Could ever dream about losin' you 
                      Am 
Didn't use to get low 
                         C 
This time of night, and I 
                       Am  
Didn't use to walk home 
                             F  
In the mornin' light without you 
        G 
Without you 
                  C    Am 
Didn't use to get high 

Didn't use to drink 
                    C   Am 
Didn't use to think I 
                       F 
Could ever dream about losin' you 
G 
You, but I do 

     C 
It's you and I 

It's do or die 
Am 
Suicide mission 

Baby, by my side 
      C 
We got one life and half of it's gone 
    Am 
You know, I can't sleep with the television on 
       C               Am 
Didn't use to get high 
     C              Am 
With you by my side 
                C 
Leave the light on
