The last to know, party's over and we won't go

No one to laugh at our jokes anymore

D
there's the door, don't forget your hat.

G                   C      G                      C
the stores are all closed, couldn't buy a break anyway

saint jude he couldn't save you or me, I suppose

Chorus

C                 D     G            G/F#       Em
More miles than money, look at out lives and it's so funny

C                 D     G           G/F#        Em
More miles than money, we fall in love and it's never funny

           C          D       G
We're the last, very last to know.

Verse:
Last to know, we play the jokers in this minstrel show
Cause no one cares in this showbiz crowd anymore.
Got another cigarrette, i'm not quite through with this story yet,
Nothing left here that we should fear, I suppose.

Chorus

Pedal steel solo: use verse chords

Chorus

Verse:
>From the cradle to the grave all the memories never saved
Nothing here that we should fear so I'm told.
As the night slips away and we stumble towards another day
there's nothing more that we can say, i suppose.

Chorus
