From [B] the water, from [A] the rock [E] and the dirt, you were [A] the first [B]
person [E] on earth.
Oh, [B] the mountains and [A] the oceans witnessed [E] your birth, [A] the first [Bm] person [E] on earth.
[B] By a river, on the banks of a sandy shore, [A] untouched, clean, [E] fresh and pure, [A] the first [F#] person [E] on earth.
[B] In the light of the sun, you emerged to [A] see the good in the world [E] before the pain and the scourge, [A] the first [B] person [E] on earth.
[B] In the quiet, in the calm, before the storm, you [A] heard the dream for a [E] love that never dies in the calm.
You were the [A] first [Bm] person [E] on earth.
[B] I'm in love with you, I'm in love with a dream [A] that cannot be realized, [E] held or seen [A] by the last [B] person [E] on earth.
[F#] After [B] the earthquakes, the hurricanes, the fires and floods, [A] I'm jaded, [E] cynical, angry and bound.
[B] The world's too absurd and obscene for true love, [A] and more than happy [E] to let me be known, [A] the last [Bm] person [E] on earth.
Let [B] me stand on a rock, the muddy waters surround, [A] abandoned, alone, [E] the innocent to come [A] as the last [B] person on [E]
earth.
[B] As the waters rise at the end of the world, though [A] I bear the weight [E] of the rock and the dirt, I [B] know I'm worthy of your love [A] as the last [B] person [E] on earth.
[B] As the waters rise at the end of the world, though [A] I bear the weight [E] of the rock and the dirt, [B] I know I'm worthy of your love [A] as the last [B] person [E] on earth.
