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