It's _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Ab] [Dm] not the long [Am] flowing dress _ [Bb] you're in, _ _ _ [Dm]
or the [G] light [Am] coming off of [Bb] your skin, _ _ [Dm] the
fragile 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, [Dm] or your _ nails [Am] leaving _ love's [Bb] _ watermark. _ _
It's not the [Dm] way you taught me off [F] the roof, _ _ _ _ [Dm] your questions lack directions to [F] the _ truth.
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] It's knowing that this can't go on [F] forever, _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] likely one of us will have to [F] spend some [C] days
alone.
_ [Bb] _ Maybe we'll get 40 years [Dm] together, [C] but one day I'll [Bb] be gone, one day [Dm] you'll be gone.
[C] _ If we were [D] _ _ [Am] vampires and death was [Bb] a joke, _ _ _ _ [Dm] we'd go out on [Am] the sidewalk [Bb] in the smoke,
_ _ _ [Dm] laugh at all the lures and [F] their plans.
_ _ _ [Dm] I wouldn't feel the need to hold [F] your _ _ hand.
Maybe [Dm] _ time running [Am] _ out is [Bb] a gift, _ _ _ _ I'll [Dm] work hard till [Am] the end of [Bb] my shift, _ _
_ [Dm] and give you
every _ second I can [F] find, _ _ _ _ [Dm] and hope it isn't me [F] who's left _ behind.
