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


[Verse 1]
C C
It's not the long, flowing dress that
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
you're in
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Or the light coming off of your skin
F F C C
The fragile heart you protected for so
Am Am
long
F F C C
Or the mercy in your sense of right and
Am Am G G
wrong
C C
It's not your hands searching slow in
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
the dark
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
F F C C Am Am
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
F F C C
Your questions like directions to the
Am Am G G
truth


[Chorus]
F F C C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F F C C
It's likely one of us will have to spend
G G
some days alone
F F C C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C C Am Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am Am C C G G
Or one day you'll be gone


[Verse 2]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
If we were vampires and death was a joke
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
F F C C Am Am
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
F F C C Am Am
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
G G
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Maybe time running out is a gift
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
F F C C Am Am
And give you every second I can find
F F C C Am Am G G
And hope it isn't me who's left behind


[Chorus]
F F C C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F F C C
It's likely one of us will have to spend
G G
some days alone
F F C C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C C Am Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am Am C C G G
Or one day you'll be gone


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


[Chorus]
F F C C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F F C C
It's likely one of us will have to spend
G G
some days alone
F F C C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C C Am Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am Am C C G G
Or one day you'll be gone


[Chorus]
F F C C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F F C C
It's likely one of us will have to spend
G G
some days alone
F F C C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C C Am Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am Am C C G G
Or one day you'll be gone


[Outro]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
