Last Night of the World
Bruce Cockburn

C  G

C G (X3)
I'm sipping Flor De Caņa and lime juice, it's three a.m.
Blow a fruit fly - off the rim of my glass
The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez

D  CC  G

Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes
Milling humans' - shivering energy glow
Fusing the spaces between them with bar-throb bass and laughter


D  CC  G



CHORUS:

       G Em7 Em7 Am7   G Em7 Em7 Am7   G Em7 Em7 Am7   G Am7 D G
       If this were the last night of the world
       What would I do?
       What would I do that was different
       Unless it was champagne with you? 

I learned as a child not to trust in my body
I've carried that burden through my life
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose

D  CC  G

CHORUS:

I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all
That was the straw that broke me open

D  CC  G

CHORUS:
