George Jones - When The Last Curtain Falls

when the last curtain falls
capo1

intro chords : F#m F#m/ A D A

A E D
even though i still sting from the words you threw at me
A E
there’s no pleasure at all watching you fall to your knees
D A D
cause the tables have turned and i’m finally learning to live and forgive and
A D A E A
there’s no sweet revenge at loves angry end and we all need to know

chorus
A
when the last curtain falls with a final goodbye
G D A
and the bitter cold darkness of night floods the days of our light
F#m D A D
with a silence so loud we can’t feel at all
A D A D E A
there’s no reason or cause to cheer or applause when the last curtain falls

the irony is that you’re wearing the look i once wore
and in truth i’ve longed for this moment to settle the score
but it’s not all clear now that i’m hearing you echo the thoughts of my soul
the justice of time is not really mine and i think you should know .

repeat chorus
A D A D E A
there’s no reason or cause to cheer or applause when the last curtain falls
