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