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
