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