_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
It's [D] not the long [Am] flowing dress [Bb] that you're in
_ [D] Or the light coming [Am] off of [Bb] your skin
The fragile [D] heart you've protected for [F] so long
_ [Dm] Or the mercy in your sense of [F] right and [C] wrong
It's not your hands [Am] searching slow in the [Bb] dark
_ Or [D] your nails leaving [Am] love's [Bb] _ watermark
It's not [Dm] the way you [G] talk me [F] off the roof
_ _ [Dm] Your questions like [D] directions to [F] the shrew
[C] _ It's [Bb]
knowing that this can't go [F] on forever _ _
_ _ [Bb] Likely one of us will have [F] to spend some days [C] alone
[Bb] Maybe we'll get forty [Dm] years together
[G] But one day I'll [Bb] be gone
One day [F] you'll be gone
[C]
If [Dm] we were vampires [Am] and death was a [Bb] joke
_ _ We'd [Dm] go out on [Am] the sidewalk [Bb] and smoke
_ _ [D] And laugh at all the [F] lovers and their [C] plans _
[Dm] I wouldn't feel the need to hold [F] your _ [C] hand
[D] Maybe time running [Am]
out [Bb] isn't good
_ _ [Dm] I'll work hard [Am] till the end of [Bb] my shit
[Dm] And give you every [D] second I can [F] _
find
And [Dm] hope it isn't me who's [F] left behind
[G] _ _ [Bb] It's knowing that this can't go [F] on forever _ _
_ _ [Bb] Likely one of us will have [F] to spend some days [C] alone
[Bb] Maybe we'll get forty [Dm] years together
[C] But one day [Bb] I'll be gone
One [F] day you'll be [G] gone
