C   C/B  Am    Am/G
One last dance
            F   F/E    G  G/F
Here at the end of the empire
C    C/B Am    Am/G
Makes me cry
             F    F/E    G  G/F  G/E
Watchin' the Moon on the ocean
      G                     C  
Where California used to be
              Am        C
It's not half bad, uh-oh
                           Am       Dm
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
          G           Dm
Don't be scared, uh-oh
                   G            Dm
Just chronically impaired, uh-oh
             G          Dm
Just take my hand, uh-oh
                Dm/C
Standin' at the end of
     G       G/F
The American Empire


C   C/B  Am    Am/G
One last song
            F   F/E    G G/F
Here at the end of the movie
     C     C/B Am    Am/G
They seemed so sure
                     F   F/E G  G/F
At least, that's the way I remember
    G/E
The war
     G                  C
What New York used to be
              Am       C
It's not half bad, no
                           Am       Dm
Spend half your life being sad, whoa
           G          Dm
Don't you weep, uh-oh
                       G          Dm
Half your life, fast asleep, uh-oh
             G
Feelin' uninspired, uh-oh
 Dm             Dm/C
Standin' at the end of
     G         G/F  
The American Empire

       C              C/B     Am    Am/G
And we know that it's time to go
          F           F/E  G  G/F
Heard the news on the radio
         Em      E       Am Am/G  F
One last round before we go
            C          G       E
Through the pale, atmospheric glow

        C        C/B     Am  Am/G
And the oxygen's getting low
       F            F/E     G    G/F
Sing a song that we used to know
         Em      E       Am  Am/G  F
One last round before we go
         C       G       C   Am
One last round before we go
       C  Am  C
So sad

                       Am 
Didn't use to get high
                           C
Didn't use to drink, and I
                      Am 
Didn't use to think I
                       F          C 
Could ever dream about losin' you
                      Am
Didn't use to get low
                         C
This time of night, and I
                       Am 
Didn't use to walk home
                             F 
In the mornin' light without you
        G
Without you
                  C    Am
Didn't use to get high

Didn't use to drink
                    C   Am
Didn't use to think I
                       F
Could ever dream about losin' you
G
You, but I do

     C
It's you and I

It's do or die
Am
Suicide mission

Baby, by my side
      C
We got one life and half of it's gone
    Am
You know, I can't sleep with the television on
       C               Am
Didn't use to get high
     C              Am
With you by my side
                C
Leave the light on
