ARTIST: Bruce Cockburn
TITLE: Last Night of the World
Lyrics and Chords


I'm sipping Flor de Caña 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 

/ C - G - / / / D DC G - /

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

{Refrain}
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

/ Em7 C G - / / / Am7 D G - /

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 

{Refrain}

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 

{Refrain}
