[Intro] Dm F A#maj7 Dm F A#maj7 A# F Dm A# F Dm C [Verse 1]
         Dm                 F             A#maj7
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in

         Dm           F        A#maj7
Or the light coming off of your skin

             A#            F              Dm
The fragile heart you protected for so long

    A#              F                  Dm      C
The mercy in your sense of right and wrong

              Dm              F         A#maj7
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark

        Dm            F           A#maj7
Or your nails leaving love's watermark

             A#       F               Dm
It's not the way you talk me off the roof

      A#              F                Dm      C
Your questions like directions to the truth
[Chorus]
      A#                             F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever

      A#                            F                C
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone

A#                            F
Maybe we'll get forty years together

                     Dm
But one day I'll be gone

                     F  C
Or one day you'll be gone
[Verse 2]
           Dm            F          A#maj7
If we were vampires and death was a joke

        Dm          F            A#maj7
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke

A#                F                Dm
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans

A#                    F                Dm     C
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

      Dm            F       A#maj7
Maybe time running out is a gift

          Dm            F          A#maj7
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift

    A#              F             Dm
And give you every second I can find

    A#            F             Dm       C
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
[Chorus]
      A#                             F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever

      A#                            F                C
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone

A#                            F
Maybe we'll get forty years together

                     Dm
But one day I'll be gone

                     F  C
Or one day you'll be gone

But one day I'll be gone

                     F  C
Or one day you'll be gone
[Chorus]
      A#                             F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever

But one day I'll be gone

                     F  G
Or one day you'll be gone
