F        C        F            C
Given my life for songs that I sing
F         C                F    C
Matter of fact, I've given everything
F        C           F      C
Time has come to not make a sound
F        C              F       C
Time has come to lay my burdens down
    F                      Bb  F
Whoa oh oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
    C                   F   C
Whoa oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
     G           C
It's come from behind
F          G
Now is the time
        F    C      F    C
For the last line  (last line)

F          C         F              C
Managed to keep some friends on my side
F                    C            F          C
To live through the times of the rumors and lies
F         C       F       C
Now it's time to rest my heart
F               C        F            C
Let some other innocent fool take my part
    F                      Bb  F
Whoa oh oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
    C                   F   C
Whoa oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
     G          C
It's come from behind
F          C
Now is the time
        F    C      F    C
For the last line  (last line)

( saxophone solo)

    F                         Bb  F
Whoa oh oh oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
    C                   F   C
Whoa oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
     G          C
It's come from behind
F            C
Now it's the time
        F    C      F    C
For the last line  (last line)

         F          C         F       C
So don't pay me no mind, I'm walkin' away
       F      C        F          C
You'll see me again on some other day
       F      C              F        C
You'll see me again, I'll be ready to go
    F            C             F            C
And pour out my songs with my heart and my soul

    F                      Bb  F
Whoa oh oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
    C                   F   C
Whoa oh  (woe oh woe oh woe oh)
     G          C
It's come from behind
F           C
Now is the time
        F    C      F    C
For the last line  (last line)
         G          C
Yes it's come from behind
F          C
Now is the time
        F    C      F    C
For the last line  (last line)
        F    C      F    C
Ah the last line  (last line)
