Songtext

[Intro]
| Dm Am | Bb - | Dm Am | Bb - |
| Dm -  | F  - | Dm -  |

[Verse 1]
F C
   It's not the long,
Dm        Am                Bb
  flowing dress that you're in
            Dm       Am         Bb
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
              Dm              Am              Bb
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
             Dm        Am          Bb
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]
     Bb                               F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Bb                                 F           C
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Bb                            Dm            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together But one
           Bb
day I'll be  gone
                    F    C
Or one day you'll be gone

[Verse 2]
              Dm        Am              Bb
If we were vampires and death was a joke
        Dm         Am          Bb
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
      Dm           Am           Bb
Maybe time running out is a gift
          Dm            Am       Bb
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]
     Bb                               F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Bb                                 F           C
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Bb                            Dm            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together But one
           Bb
day I'll be  gone
                    F    C
Or one day you'll be gone
