Capo 4th fret

intro:

Born on a train nowhere

I was born in a car out there

You were bound to live this life

You were bound to be alive

When I was a young man

I looked up to the ones by my side

I was bound by a love and despair

G Am C

The last Son

G Am C

You gotta a nerve to come back here again

But I guess that's how it goes

You always hurt the ones you know

G Am C

The last Son

Tell me how you know

When your love wont die or grow

Em D C

I am that son

Born to a northern star

With the fallow stretching far

I never knew there's another way

I never knew I'd leave this way

Now I'm an older man

Trying to accept the person I am

I was born to live this way

I was bound to live this way

G Am C

But I want to see you again

G Am C

But I guess that's how it goes

You always hurt the love you know

G Am C

The Last Son

Tell me how did you know

When your love wont die or grow

Em D C

The Last son

Learn to let them go (the last son)
