Our Last Song   (G, 2002) 
music/lyrics: Franklin Holland 

Part A 
(Em)
This is the (C)time to (D) go, my (G) angel
(Em)you want to (C)make it (D)on your (G) own..
(Em)
I see the (C)empty (D)road ahead(G) of me
(Em) but I'll be (C)moving (D) on,
yes (C)I'll be (D)moving (G/C) on...

Part A
This is my time to go my angel,
you don't need me, anymore.
I'll pick up this song,  from the table,
and walk right out the door,
and walk right out that door.

Part B
(C) and all the (G) good times (D)together,
(C)
they're gone (G)down the (D) drain.
(C)I'm calling (G)out for your (D)name baby
oh
while I'm (F)standing
in this pouring (G/F)rain..(crescendo)
in this pouring
(A/G)rain..
in this pouring
(C/G)-(C/A)rain..
in this pouring
(G)
rain..

Part C
(A#)This is a (C)time to be (G)angered
should've (A#)joined a (C)rock 'n roll (G)band
and (A#)traveled (C)far away from this (G)city
and (D#)do what I should've,
 
(F) do what I don't want to (G/F)do:

forget about (C) you 
(repeats 4 X with guitar duet)

Part B Guitar Duet 

Part A
you'll hear these words, and understand it
what could've been won't come again
this broken heart can never be mended

oh, I'll be moving on,
this is the last song..
oh, I'll be moving on,
this is our last song..
this is our last song..
(fade out)
