R.E.M. - Final straw

^EmAs I raise my head to broa^Gdcast my objecti^Emon As your latest triumph dra^Gws the final straw^Em Who died and lifted y^Gou up to per^Emfection? And what silenced me is^G written into law^Em.

^GI can't believe where circumstance has th^Emrown me And I ^Gturn my head aw^Emay If I l^Gook I'm not sure that I could ^Emface you. Not ag^Emain. not to^Gday. not tod^Emay.

^EmIf hatred makes a pla^Gy on me tomorr^Emow And forgiveness takes a back s^Geat to revenge ^Em There's a hurt down deep that h^Gas not been corr^Emected. There's a voice in me that says y^Gou will not win.^Em

And^G if I ignore the vo^Emice inside, Ra^Gise a half glass to my h^Emome. B^Gut it's there that I a^Emm most afraid, And forgetti^Emng doesn't ho^Gld. it doesn't h^Emold.

^CNow I don't believe and I never did That t^Emwo wrongs make a right. If the wo^Crld were filled with the likes of you Then I'm ^Emputting up a fight. I'm putting up a f^Cight. Putting up a f^Emight. make it rig^Emht. make it ri^Gght. ^Em

Now lo^Emve cannot be c^Galled into question^Em. Forgiveness is the o^Gnly hope I hold. ^Em And love- love will ^Gbe my strongest weapo^Emn. I do believe that I a^Gm not alone^Em.

For this f^Gear will not destroy ^Emme. And the te^Gars that have been s^Emhed It's kn^Gowing now where I a^Emm weakest And the v^Emoice in my h^Gead. in my he^Emad.

Then I r^Gaise my voice up hi^Emgher And I lo^Gok you in the ey^Eme And I o^Gffer love with one co^Emndition. With co^Emnviction, tell me wh^Gy. Tell me w^Emhy. Tell me w^Emhy. Look me in the ^Geye. Tell me wh^Emy.
