VERSES:

1. The lines of my earth, so brittle, unfertile and ready to die

2. It should be our time, this fertile youth's black soil is ready for rain

I need a drink but the well has gone dry

the harvest is nigh, but the well has gone dry

And we in the habit of saying the same things all over again

And they in the habit of saying the same things all over again

for the money we shall make

about the money we shall make

CHORUS:

This is the last song that I write 'til you tell me otherwise

F (

F#)

and it's because I just don't feel it

This is the last song 'til you tell me otherwise

F (

F#)

Dm...

and it's because I just don't feel it ...any more [go to VERSE 1 after first CHORUS]

[after second CHORUS repeat INTRO during solo]

[after solo repeat CHORUS for a third time]

[after third CHORUS, repeat INTRO during second solo]
