Em7 Cadd9
It's the first defeat
G D
It cuts you to your bones
Em7 Cadd9
Knocks you off your feet
G D
And you discover that home
Em7 Cadd9
Is not a person or a place
G D Cadd9
But a feeling you can't get back
Then the second round
Throws you to the floor
Leaves you stuttering
What the hell was that for?
Takes you by surprise
Like the bullet you never saw coming
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
You take me
It's the little things
That convince me to stay
It's your fingertips
And the music they play
To the beat of my heart
And the rhythm our bodies make
But this will be the last time
Honey, this will be the last time
This will be the last time
You take me
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
Oh, you're kissing me again
G D Cadd9
Oh, and I can't see it
G
You've got a lot of nerve
D Cadd9
Throw me out the way you did
G
You've got a lot of nerve
D Cadd9
Half-naked in my bed
You said
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
This will be the last time
You take me
