[Intro]
C Fmaj7
C Fmaj7
F C Am
F C Am G
[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
[Interlude]

[Chorus]

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

It's likely one of us will have to spend

some days alone

Maybe we'll get forty years together

But one day I'll be gone
Am C G
Or one day you'll be gone
[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
