C#m              F#m
The lines of my earth
B              E            B/D#      C#m
So brittle, unfertile, and ready to die
           F#
I need a drink
                  B
But the well has gone dry

And we in the habit of
Saying the same things all over again
For the money we shall make

Chorus:
             F#m                   A
This is the last song that I'll write
          E    B/D#     C#m B F#
'Til you tell me otherwise
            A
And it's because
              E
I just don't feel it
 F#m         A
This is the last song
          E    B/D#   C#m
'Til you tell me otherwise
          F#m
And it's because
             Am         C#m
I just don't feel it anymore

It should be our time
This fertile youth's black soil is ready for rain
The harvest is nigh
But the well has gone dry
And they in the habit of
Saying the same things all over again
About the money we shall make

Chorus - x2
