1. So you‘re in love with someone else,
Em
someone who burns within your soul,
C
- D G
and
it looks like I am the last to
know,
G
I hear you‘ve never felt so alive,
Em
so
much desire beyond control,
C - D G
and
as usual I am the last to know.
Em C
The last to know how you‘re feeling,
G Em
the last to know where you are,
C Am
the last to know if you‘re happy
now,
Bm
or if he‘s treating you like I treated you,
C D G
or if he‘s cruel, I‘ll be the last to know.
G
2. We spent summers out beyond the bay,
Em
and
you said: These are such perfect days,
C D G
but
if the bomb drops, baby, I want to be the last to know.
G
But now you‘re living up
behind the hill,
Em
and
though we share the same city and feel the same sun,
C - D G
when
your winter comes, I‘ll be the last
to know.
Em C
Always the last to know how you‘re feeling,
G Em
the last to know where you are,
C Am
the last to know if you‘re happy
now,
Bm
or if he‘s pleading with you like I pleaded with you.
C
D G
If you go, don‘t let me be the last to know,
D G
don‘t let me be the la….st to know !
Am Bm - Am G
+ Creations gone crazy, the TV‘s gone mad,
Am C D
now
you‘re the only sane thing that I have.

Always the last to know how you‘re feeling,

You were the last to know, you were the last to know,

don‘t let me be the la……st to know.
