             Em/A          Bm                C
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
         Em/A        Bm           C
Or the light coming off of your skin
              Em/A                       G
The fragile heart you protected for so long
         Em/A                              G   Dsus4
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

[Verse]
                Em/A             Bm          C
It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
          Em/A          Bm           C
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
              Em/A                      G
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
       Em/A                               G  Dsus4
Your questions like directions to the truth

[Chorus]
       C                                G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
    C                            G              Dsus4
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
   C                             Em/A
Maybe we'll get forty years together
   Dsus4               C                       Em/A  Dsus4
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

[Verse]
              Em/A        Bm           C
If we were vampires and death was a joke
         Em/A          Bm          C
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
      Em/A                               G
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
    Em/A                                 G   Dsus4
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

[Verse]
        Em/A        Bm        C
Maybe time running out is a gift
            Em/A         Bm           C
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
    Em/A                         G
To give you every second I can find
      Em/A                            G   Dsus4
 And hope it isn't me who’s left behind

[Chorus]
       C                                G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
    C                            G              Dsus4
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
   C                             Em/A
Maybe we'll get forty years together
   Dsus4               C                       Em/A  Dsus4
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
