If We Were Vampires Chords by Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit

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