## NOTE: ~ = Bass Walk-Down from G to Em ##
[Intro]
G ~ Em C D G C G C
[Verse 1]
Em C G
Do we close our curtains when we hear our neighbour call
D C G
So we won’t see him suffer when his back''s to the wall?
~ Em C G
Do we sit back silent and watch a brother fall?
D C G C G C
Do we love so little, we are no friend at all?
[Chorus 1]
D
Do we look right past him
C G ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em C D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
G
Where we pay for every last thing
C G ~
And retribution’s fast sting
Em C D G C G C
Comes from hands forever casting stones
[Verse 2]
Em C G
Do we cut and condemn and never comprehend
D C G ~
That trust can turn into a dividend
Em C G
And love will leave you richer in the end

Or do we love so little, we are no true friend
[Chorus 2]

Oh, is it easier to blast him
C G ~
And spend our time forecasting
Em C D
That he’ll, no doubt, lose everything he owns
G
We remember every past thing
C G ~
Our memory’s everlasting
Em C D G C G C
And so we are forever casting stones
[Instrumental]
Em C D G C G C
[Verse 3]
Em C G
When he looks on luck, do we have to have it
D C G
When he bends his back, do we reach to stab it
~ Em C G
If he has a little hope, do we always grab it
D C G C G C
And drag him down, like a hound on a rabbit
[Chorus 1]
D
Do we look right past him
C G ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em C D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
G
Where we pay for every last thing
C G ~
And retribution’s fast sting
Em C D
Comes from hands forever
G C G ~
Remember casting are memories everlasting
Em N.C.
And so we are forever casting stones
Track 11 - One Last Dance
[Intro]
G C D
[Verse 1]
G Em C D
Those blue eyes that shined all over my world
G Em C D
Somehow seem to have lost their light
G Em C D
And those lips, they don’t seem to smile anymore
G Em C D
Not even when I’m holding him tight
[Verse 2]
G C
I’m no good on the phone

And I’m no good all alone

He’s desperate for a brand new start
[Pre-Chorus]

This is the last time I’ll shine in the night
C D G C G/B G C
The last time you’ll see me cry
[Chorus]
D C G
I’ve tossed away flowers and found love again
D C G
But this time there’s no second chance
Em C D
Don’t want no other boy to love again
G C D G C D G C D
Just want a dozen blue roses and one last dance
[Verse 3]
G Em C D
Where am I now, where was I before
G Em C D
I can’t even remember my life
G Em C D
He’s been my world for such a long time
G Em C D
And leaving him cuts like a knife
[Verse 4]
G C
I still feel like a child
G C
And my heart still runs wild
G Em C D
Like a river without any end
G C
But he don’t love this child
G C
Or this heart, rough and wild
G C D C D
And it’s too late to begin again
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em C D
Lord, help me I’m falling like a burnt out star
G Em C D
That’s kissed the moon goodbye___
G Em C D
This is the last time I’ll shine in the night
C D G C G/B G C
The last time you’ll see me cry
[Chorus]
D C G
I’ve tossed away flowers and found love again

I headed for a pawn shop

Something eerie made me stop

And bring that fiddle to my chin like a rocket
[Verse 4]

I wasn’t poor, I was a millionaire

I wasn’t poor, I was a millionaire
[Chorus]
