First of the last to know

C

C Am
Everyone is breaking out
F
Covering the ground
G
I can only dream of
C Am
While I watch them all go by
F
From the corner of my eye
G
Wondering what I’m made of

F Am F G
And why I’m the first of the last to know

F C
I’m coming out my way
F Am G F
I’m coming out my way
C
I’m coming out my way


C Am
Come see it for yourself
F
The books there on the shelf
G
That I never got to
C Am
I bought them for the show
F
So everyone should know
G
That I belonged here too

F Am F G
While I just rehearsed what I hoped to show

C Am F G

C
I don’t really want to have to go there
Am
All it ever does is lead me nowhere
F G
All it ever does is bring me down
C
So I’m going to leave it all behind me
Am
It can try but I’ll never find
F G
And I won’t ever be the first of the last to know

C Am F G
Come now I will take this on hands tied behind my back
C Am F G
With nothing and no one to help my plan of attack
C Am F G
And all of this self defeat will fall along the track
C Am F G
And for once in my whole life I won’t be looking back

F C
I’m coming out my way
F Am G F
I’m coming out my way
C
I’m coming out my way
