E       F#       G#m 
I can't take the truth 
E            F#         C#5 
From all the lies we've laid 
E       F#          G#m 
I never caught that perfect light 
E            F#         C#5 
Or saw those sunset rays 
E           F#      G#m 
So burn the new age magazines 
E            F#       C#5 
You preachers and the past 
E           F#       G#m 
You widowed wives of instigators 
E         F#     C#5 
I want to be the last 

A                C#  C#sus2 C#m 
I am the last dictator 
A               C#m  B   E 
You saw the son today 
A               E     (E Eb)<-do these in octaves, not the actual chords 
I am the last dictator 
C#5                C5 
You wanted me this way 

(Verse chords) 
I can't take the truth 
And all those other games 
Like Ceasar and his Christians 
The lions never wained 
A clever turn of phrase 
like 'Belsen was a gas' 
I want to see my future first 
I want be the last 

(Chorus chords) 
I am the last dictator 
You saw the son today 
I am the last dictator 
You wanted me this way
