[Verse 1]
G                                D/F#
Who were you to ask for anything warm?
       G
Do you wait for your dancing
                        D/F#    C
lessons to be sent from god
C
   You'd like his light
               G
   to shine on you
G
You've really missed a trick
                 D/F#
when it comes to love
        G
Always seeking what you don't have
                       D/F#    C
like what you do ain't enough
C
   You'd like a light
               G
   to shine on you

[Pre-Chorus]
C
  And every book you take and
                        G
  you dust off from the shelf
G                    Am
   Has lines between lines
           Bm
   between lines
Bm                          C
   That you read about yourself,
                             G
   but does a light shine on you?

[Chorus]
C
   When your friends are talking
                     G
   you hardly hear a word
G                            Am    Bm
   You were the first person here
                        C
And the last man on the earth
C                            G
   But does a light shinе on you?

[Verse 2]
G
Who were you to ask
             D/F#
for anything else?
    G
The thing you should be
              D/F#    C
asking is for help
                               G
You'd like a light to shine on you
Em     D        C    G  D
Let it shine on you
Em     D        C
Let it shine on you
G  D  Em    G

[Instrumental]
F        G

[Pre-Chorus]
C
   A penny for your truth but
                      G
   I hedge my bets on love
G                         Am
   'Cause it's lies after lies
         Bm
   after lies
Bm                         C
   But do you even for yourself?
C                               G
   And then the light shines on you

[Chorus]
C
   When your friends are talking
                     G
   you hardly hear a word
G
   You were the first
          Am      Bm
   person here
                        C
And the last man on the earth
             G
But the light...

How to play The Last Man On Earth: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for The Last Man On Earth by Wolf Alice on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

The Last Man On Earth by Wolf Alice is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 8 chords in all: G, D/F#, C, Am, Bm, Em, D and F.

Listen for G – C – G – Am (I – IV – I – ii in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm and F are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
