Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G            C       G
I am now the one she left
  C
A haunted tale for someone else
G C                     G
  A little bit about herself
   D               G
Wherever she is sleeping
                     C          G
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
C                           G
Cause a flame from just one spark
C
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
G D               G
  She exhales a memory
             D
The past is fadin'

[Chorus]
Over time,
               Em               C
but it's still hangin' on for life

[Verse 2]
G           C        G
I'm now her used to be
C                       G
He is now the one she needs
C                       G
He is now the one she leans on
    D                  G
She looks out at the sunset
                           C    G
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
            C
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
G C                           G
  Whiskey kills all things in time
     D                    G
Like things she don't remember
             D
The past is fadin'

[Chorus]
Over time,
               Em               C
but it's still hangin' on for life

[Verse 3]
G           C          G
I am now an old headstone
C                            G
And to her grave I'll die alone
C                        G
A testament of how she's grown
   D               G
Wherever she is sleepin'

[Solo]

but it's still hangin' on for life
