The Last 3 Human Words

  Dm
I know how you feel
Like your soul could use the rest
           C
But you’re not my girl anymore
You’re a ghost in the west
    G
And tonight you’re gonna make it
                    Dm
Down the black road alone

Dm
Don’t cry now
Cause you’re so much better off
       C
You’re none of what you were
But you’re everything you lost
    G
And whatever you got back after that
                     Dm
Is worth whatever it cost

Dm      C            G          Dm
You can climb to the top of the wall
Dm       C   G          Dm
You can look down on it all
Dm      C     G             Dm
You can never tell what you saw

Dm
Remember when you got here
How the bending willows hung
         C
How your eyes stung from the mercury
And you found on your tongue
        G
All the words to all the songs you were sure
                          Dm
Only the night could have sung

Dm          C        G      Dm
And all the way down gospel street
Dm   C            G                Dm
A   dead bird was hauling an ivory box
Dm   C      G
Back from redemption
         Dm         C               G
You just buried the last chance you got

Dm          C        G      Dm
And all the way down locust street
Dm  C            G                      Dm
A   black ox was hauling a white willow box
Dm    C   G
Back from oblivion
Dm      C          G               Dm
He just dug up the last chance you got

Dm          C          G     Dm
He said the last three human words
Dm       C           G           Dm
Were the same as the first three words
Dm        C           G         Dm
Don’t you ever wonder what they were?
