Chords for REM - Final Straw (lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _ As I raise my head to [G] broadcast my objection _ _
[Dm] _ _ As your latest [G] child draws [C] the final [Dm] straw
_ _ _ _ Who died and lifted [C] you up to perfection _ _
_ _ And what silenced [G] me is returning [Dm] to love
_ _ _ _ [C] I can't believe where [Dm] circumstances throw me
[C] When I turn my [Dm] head away
If [C] I look, I'm not sure that I [Dm] could face you
[Am] Not again, _ [C] not today, [Dm] not today
_ _ _ _ If hatred makes a [C] play on me [D] tomorrow _ _
_ Then forgiveness take a backseat to revenge
_ _ _ _ [Dm] There's a hurt down deep that has not been [D] corrected _
There's _ a voice in me that [G] says you will [D] not win
_ _ _ _ [C] And if I ignore [D] the person's side
[C] Raise a half glass to [D] my home
But [C] it's there that I [Dm] am most afraid [Am] to get
_ [C] Doesn't hold, [D] doesn't hold
_ _ _ _ [F] Now I don't believe that I never dared [Dm] let two hearts make a right
[F] If the world would fill [Dm] with delights in you
Then I'm putting up a fight, putting up a [F] fight
Putting up [Dm] a fight
_ [Am] Looked right, _ [C] wicked right
[Dm] And _ _ _ _ _ love cannot be [C] called [Am] into [Dm] question _ _
_ _ _ Forgiveness is the only hope I hold
_ _ _ _ And love, love will [C] be my strongest weapon
I _ _ do believe that I am not [Dm] alone
For _ _ [C] this fear will not [Dm] destroy me
[C] And the tears that have [Dm] been shed
It's [C] knowing now where I am weakest
And [Am] the voice in [C] my head
[D] When _ _ _ _ [C] I raise my voice [D] of fire
[C] And I look you in [Dm] the eye
That I offer love with one [D]
condition
With [Am] conviction
Tell [C] me why, [Dm] tell me why
Tell _ _ me [Am] why, look me in [C] the eye
Tell [Dm] me why _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
