Famous Last Words

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
“I know a shortcut. Follow me.”
We lost an hour getting back
“I don’t need the manual for this.”
Three spare parts sat in my lap

“I can fix it. Give me that.”
That’s when something hit the floor
“Don’t worry, I remember how.”
I’d never done the job before

[Pre-Chorus]
It always starts with confidence
Right before the warning signs
There’s always time to walk away
But where’s the fun in being wise?

[Chorus]
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“I’ve done this a hundred times”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Stand back—I’ll be fine”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“How hard could it be?”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Just leave this one to me”

[Verse 2]
“One more hand, I’ll win it back.”
I watched my last few dollars go
“She’ll never know about last night.”
She knew before I made it home

“This one’s practically guaranteed.”
I put my money on the line
“One more drink won’t hurt a thing.”
It seemed like wisdom at the time

[Pre-Chorus]
It always sounds so reasonable
Right before you cross the line
There’s always time to walk away
Till walking isn’t on your mind

[Chorus]
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“It’s only for one night”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“She’ll never know, all right?”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“I know when I should quit”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Just one more—that’ll be it”

[Instrumental Feature]

[Verse 3]
“I’m pretty sure the power’s off.”
The flash lit up the room in white
“Those baby bears won’t bother me.”
Mama stepped out on the right

“This ice can hold us. Look at that.”
The first loud crack came from below
“What does this red button do?”
There’s only one good way to know

[Pre-Chorus]
It always starts with “Trust me”
Right before you cross the line
There’s always time to walk away—
Until there isn’t time

[Breakdown]
[Kick and bass only]
“You hold this end. I’ll light the fuse.”
[Beat]
“I can beat that train across.”
[Beat]
“Trust me.”
[Full stop]
“Here—
hold my beer.”
[Full-beat silence]

FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
“I’ve done this a hundred times!”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
“Stand back—I’ll be fine!”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
“What’s the worst that could happen?”
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!

“Well...
that could happen.”
