TITLE: Last Night of the World
Lyrics and Chords
I'm sipping Flor de Caña and lime juice, it's three a.m.
Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass
The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez
/ C - G - / / / D DC G - /
Midnight, it was bike tires whacking the pot holes
Milling humans' shivering energy glow
Fusing the space between them with bar-throb bass and laughter
{Refrain}
If this were the last night of the world
What would I do
What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you
/ Em7 C G - / / / Am7 D G - /
I learned as a child not to trust in my body
I've carried that burden through my life
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose
{Refrain}
I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all
That was the straw that broke me open
{Refrain}
