G#m

[Verse 1]

B G#m F#

You knew me in my spiral

G#m E B F#

Happiness tidal, it comes and it goes

B G#m F#

And I sank into the water

G#m E B F#

How I drifted farther away from the coast

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes, I get this feeling

B F# G#m

I was breathing someone else's air

E B

Two thousand miles away from home

Under that sky, I tried to make my peace with fear

[Chorus]

E B

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be the last one (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head

F# G#m

And make sense of all my thoughts

E B

And if I never reach the land or live again

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be just fine (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then

F# G#m

I'll be the last one, I'll be the last one

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

B G#m F#

I fell into a pattern

G#m E B F#

Where nothing would matter if I didn't care

B G#m F#

To be so close to a coastline

G#m E B F#

To know that in my life, I'll never be there

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause sometimes, I get this feeling

B F#

I've been breathing someone else's air

[Chorus]

E B

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be the last one (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head

F# G#m

And make sense of all my thoughts

E B

And if I never reach the land or live again

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be just fine (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then

F# G#m

I'll be the last one, I'll be the last one

[Bridge]

And it wears me out

G#m B

All the demons underneath the tide

E G#m

But I sink like stone

B F#

But all the weight of all these dreams of mine

And I wish you well

G#m B

You can't save someone too far to find

E G#m

But it's wearing me out

B F#

And it's stormy in the sea tonight, in the sea tonight

[Chorus]

E B

So I guess I'll build a boat and live alone

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be the last one (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Oh, I'll teach myself to swim and live in my head

F# G#m

And make sense of all my thoughts

E B

And if I never reach the land or live again

F# G#m

Lord, I'll be just fine (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

E B

Yeah, I'll drift until I'm dead, and until then

F# G#m

I'll be the last one, I'll be the last one
