(maj7)
We took the highway till the road went black
We marked Truth or Consequences on our map
A voice drifted up from the radio
Some other voice from long ago
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?
Who'll be the last to die . . . for a mistake
Riff (1x)
The kid's asleep in the back seat
We're just counting the miles you and me
We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore
We just stack the bodies outside the door
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?
Who'll be the last to die . . . for a mistake
The wise men were all fools. What to do?
Riff (2x)
C Em (note variation in chord under the riff)
The sun it sets in flames as the city burns
Another day gone down as the night turns
And I hold you here in my heart
As things fall a-part
A downtown window flushed with life
Faces of the dead at five
Her martyr's silent eyes
Petition the drivers as we pass by
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,
The last to die for a mistake
Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break?
Who'll be the last to die . . .
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake,
The last to die for a mistake
Darling your tyrants and kings fall to the same fate
Strung up at your city gates
Who'll be the last to die for a mistake
Riff (2x)
C Em (again variation)
