[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]

Or one day you'll be gone
