The Last To Know

Intro 
Am  Em  F  G  C 


[Verso 1]
 
Am              Em 
Standing in the dark, 
                 F           G      C 
Watching as your whole world falls apart: 
Dm 
You read between the lines 
                     G 
As you listen at the door 

She's slamming down the phone 
                   C 
You needed to hear more 
                      G 
You're looking in her eyes 
                       Am       Em 
You wonder what she'll say this time 
                Am        Em 
Will she try to ease your mind 
    Dm      G       C     Am 
Are you the last to know again? 
        Dm         G       C 
Are you always the last to know? 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am            Em 
Gathering the clues 
               F           G         C 
Half-amazed at what things have come to: 
Dm 
You see her in the park 
                  G 
Shes walking up ahead 

You cannot get too close 
                           C 
You're mind is filled with dread 
                    G 
You find a place to hide 
                    Am     Em 
You think back to a kinder time 
                Am       Em 
When you didn't play the spy 
    Dm      G       C     Am 
Are you the last to know again? 
        Dm         G       C 
Are you always the last to know? 
 


[Ponte]
 
Em                    Am              Em 
Have you ever thought something you regret 
                      F           G 
Then you can't get it out of your head? 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Am               Em 
You lie awake at night 
                    F         G       C 
Struggling with the fear that you are right 
Dm 
You're wandering the streets 
                    G 
You wonder if she's home 

You're trying hard to peek 
                        C 
She doesn't seem to be alone 
                   G 
You're feeling so ashamed 
                      Am     Em 
And things will never be the same 
           Am    Em 
Even after she explains 
    Dm      G       C     Am 
Are you the last to know again? 
        Dm         G       C     Em                    Am               Em 
Are you always the last to know? Have you ever thought something you regret 
                      F           G 
Then you can't get it out of your head?
