Last year, I drank a lot
I drank ’til I fell
down
Last year, I smoked a lot
‘Til my lungs turned b
rown
Last year, I crawled in circles
This year, I’m climbing up
clouds,
clouds
I don’t know
where I went
wrong
I was lost, now I’m
found, now you’re
gone,
gone
’Cause I’m not a saint but I can paint myself into a better
picture
One day, you’ll see me in a big, golden frame and it’ll
hit you
Last year, I promised myself I’d stop writing songs about
girls
But you’re a woman
Last year, I let you down
And I know I should have been
around instead of drinking in town
Last year, I was a little boy
Now I feel like a young
man, so many
plans
I don’t know
where I went
wrong
I was lost, now I’m
found, now you’re
gone,
gone
Two, three, four
’Cause I’m not a saint but I can paint myself into a better
picture
One day, you’ll see me in a big, golden frame and it’ll
hit you
So let’s call it even, we’ve got something to believe in and you
know this
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dave_mcpherson/last_year_crd.html )
You know this is true
I’m talking to you so don’t cut me
out
I know you’ve got
doubts but don’t be too hasty and waste me like I’m wasting myself
I’m sorry for last
year
[C/G]I understand you and I
read you like a book
And I know why you
think that you’ve got to do this
[C/G]You think these are all just empty
words made pretty with my guitar
Thinking that there’s no way that I could ever prove this
[C/G]You’re holding on to the
past but it won’t last
‘Cause I
know that I can make you
laugh and smile
And I know that I can make all this pain worthwhile
We’ll take it slow but if you want
to move fast, I’m at your pace
And I know this sounds crazy but yo
u know you amaze me
I’ll [C/G]never be lazy
unless it’s to be lazy with you
I don’t know
where I went
wrong
I was
lost, now I’m
found, now you’re gone,
gone
’Cause I’m not a saint but I can paint myself into a better
picture
One day, you’ll see me in a big, golden frame and it’ll
hit you
So let’s call it even, we’ve got something to believe in and you
know this
You know this is true
I’m talking to
you so don’t cut me out
I know you’ve got
doubts but don’t be too hasty and waste me like I’m wasting myself
I’m sorry for last
year
Guess I’ll see you
around
You don’t know how much I’m going to
prove myself to you
With or without
