Last Straw by Jacks Mannequin

G            C                 Am    
I heard that you went out last night and you looked beautiful 
C                           G                   C
Just like a bat beneath the moonlight. I stayed home took a Vicodin... 
Am                            C                         G
Sometimes it's all that I can do when I think about the president 
C                     Am            C
How did he become the president? 
G                  C                 
And I stayed awake for a day or two, 
Am                         C
I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news 
G                  C                      Am    
And there are some things I'll never understand 
                      C                G
Why a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man 


Chorus
F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F          C                    F
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
F                          C
Without you I don't sleep, Just dream... 


G                         C
And I scratch these words into a black notebook 
Am                       C
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look 
G               C        
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere 
Am                           C
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear 
F     Am                C            F    
I see Arizona stars from here....But Peter Pan is miles away 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F          C                    F
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
F                  
Without you I don't have... 
C              F                 C
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                F                   C
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep 
F
This is the last straw... 

F                C         G                               
This is the last straw she said
                         F
And I won't wait for you forever 
                          C      
While you run around like JFK
                                     G
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life 
                           F                                 C               
And I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way

F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F          C                    F
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
F                  
Without you I don't have... 
C              F                 C
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                F                     C
That hide in my head and keep me 'til dawn 
            F
I think.... this is the last straw.
