[Verse 1]
C                                     
It's not the long, flowing dress that 
   Fmaj7
you're in
C                              Fmaj7
Or the light coming off of your skin
F                     C                
The fragile heart you protected for so 
Am
long
F                    C                  
Or the mercy in your sense of right and 
Am      G
wrong
C                                       
It's not your hands searching slow in 
Fmaj7
the dark
C                           Fmaj7
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
F                    C               Am
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
F                    C                
Your questions like directions to the 
Am      G
truth
 
 
[Chorus]
F                                  C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F                                   C    
It's likely one of us will have to spend 
            G
some days alone
F                            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C  G
Or one day you'll be gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                 Fmaj7
If we were vampires and death was a joke
C                               Fmaj7
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
F                 C                Am
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
F                    C                Am  
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
   G
C                          Fmaj7
Maybe time running out is a gift
C                                Fmaj7
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
F                  C             Am
And give you every second I can find
F                 C             Am       G
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
 
 
[Chorus]
F                                  C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F                                   C    
It's likely one of us will have to spend 
            G
some days alone
F                            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C  G
Or one day you'll be gone

It's knowing that this can't go on forever

It's likely one of us will have to spend

some days alone
F                            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C   G
Or one day you'll be gone
