Final Straw Chords by R.E.M

[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
As I raise my [G] head to [C] broadcast my [D]
objection,
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] As your [G] latest triumph [C] draws the final [Dm] straw,
_ _ _ _ _ Who [G] died and lifted [C] you up to [Dm] perfection? _
_ _ _ _ And what [G] silenced me is [C] _ returning [Dm] to love. _ _
_ _ _ [C] I can't believe where [Dm] circumstances throw me,
[C] When I turn my head [Dm] away.
_ [C] If I look, I'm not sure that [Dm] I could face you,
[Am] Not again, _ not [C] today, _ [Dm] not today. _ _ _
_ _ _ If [G] hatred makes a [C] play on me [D] tomorrow, _ _ _
_ _ Then forgiveness take a [C]
backseat to [D] revenge. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] There's a hurt down deep that [C] has not been [D] corrected, _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] There's a voice in me that [C] says you will [D] not win. _ _ _ _ _
[C] And if I ignore [D] the voice inside,
[C] Raise a half glass to [D] my home, _ _
[C] But it's there that I [D] am most afraid.
And if I try to [Am] change again,
It [C] doesn't hold, it [D] doesn't hold. _ _ _ _ _
[F] And I don't believe that I never did,
[Dm] That two wrongs make a right.
[F] With the world we've built, [Dm] we can actually live.
But not the fight, but [F] not the fight, but not [Dm] the fight. _
[Am] Look it right, _ [C] make it right. _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That love [G] cannot be [C] called into _ [Dm]
question, _ _ _ _ _ _
Forgiveness is the [C] only hope [Dm] I hold.
_ _ _ _ _ And love, love will [C] be my strongest [Dm] weapon. _
_ _ _ _ I do believe that [C] I am not [Dm] alone, _ _
_ _ For [C] the spear will not [Dm] destroy me,
And [C] the tears that have been [Dm] shed,
_ [C] Is knowing now where [Dm] I am weakest,
And [Am] the voice in [C] my head, in [D] my head. _ _
_ _ _ [C] When I raise my voice [D] up higher,
_ [C] And I look you in [Dm] the eye,
_ [C] Then I offer love with one [D] condition,
With [Am] conviction, tell [C] me why, tell [Dm] me why. _ _
_ _ Tell [Am] me why, look me [C] in the eye, tell [Dm] me why. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
