"Final Straw"
Intro Dm
DmAs I raise my head to broaCdcast my objectiDmon
As your latest triumph draCws the final strawDm
Who died and lifted yCou up to perDmfection'
And what silenced me isC written into lawDm.
CI can't believe where circumstance has thDmrown me
And I Cturn my head awDmay
If I lCook I'm not sure that I could Dmface you.
Not agAmain. not toCday. not todDmay.
DmIf hatred makes a plaCy on me tomorrDmow
And forgiveness takes a back sCeat to revenge Dm
There's a hurt down deep that hCas not been corrDmected.
There's a voice in me that says yCou will not win.Dm
AndC if I ignore the voDmice inside,
RaCise a half glass to my hDmome.
BCut it's there that I aDmm most afraid,
And forgettiAmng doesn't hoCld. it doesn't hDmold.
FNow I don't believe and I never did
That tDmwo wrongs make a right.
If the woFrld were filled with the likes of you
Then I'm Dmputting up a fight. I'm putting up a fFight.
Putting up a fDmight. make it rigAmht. make it riCght. Dm
Now loDmve cannot be cCalled into questionDm.
Forgiveness is the oCnly hope I hold. Dm
And love- love will Cbe my strongest weapoDmn.
I do believe that I aCm not aloneDm.
For this fCear will not destroy Dmme.
And the teCars that have been sDmhed
It's knCowing now where I aDmm weakest
And the vAmoice in my hCead. in my heDmad.
Then I rCaise my voice up hiDmgher
And I loCok you in the eyDme
And I oCffer love with one coDmndition.
With coAmnviction, tell me whCy.
Tell me wDmhy.
Tell me wAmhy.
Look me in the Ceye.
Tell me whDmy.
