             F/A            A#      F
Why's it so hard to look me in the eye?
                    F          A#        F
Playing with that cross that's on your chain
           F/A       A#         F
I know you only ever bite your lip
                     Dm       C      A#
When it's something you're afraid to say

             F
Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
             C
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
             Dm
This is the last thing I would have done to ya
             A#
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me

Chorus:
    C                                             Dm    A#
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
      C                                      Dm      A#
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied
     C                                  Dm      A#
You said we'd be forever, now you never ever be mine (Oh-oh-oh)
     C                                              Dm   A#
You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?

You've practiced leaving many times before
But I guess you'll get it right today
Leaving that ring I gave you in the drawer
But you're taking every single part of me

Is this the last time that I lay my eyes upon you?
Is this the last time that I ever watch you leave?
This is the last thing I would ever have done to you
This is the last thing that I thought you'd do to me

Chorus:
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied (Oh-oh-oh)
You said we'd be forever, now you'll never ever be mine (Oh-oh-oh)
You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh

                C
I think of the first kiss
                 Dm
That led to the first night
   A#
Whoa, whoa
                C
I think of the first tiff
                 Dm
That led to the first fight
    A#
Whoa, whoa
Ooh

Chorus:
You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
I'm tryna hold your hand but feeling like my hand's tied, hmm
We always said we'd be forever, now you'll never ever be mine, ooh (Oh-oh-oh)
We said that it would last, but how come it's the last time? Oh, ooh

I think of the first kiss
That led to the first night
Whoa (First night), whoa (Whoa)
I think of the first tiff
That led to the first fight
Whoa, whoa, oh

You said that it would last, but how come it's the last time?
