Key: D
Introduction: Dm Am Bb Dm Am Bb
Dm Am
It's not the long, flowing dress
Bb
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
Or the mercy in your sense
F C
Of right and wrong
Dm Am
It's not your hands searching slow
Bb
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
Your questions like directions
F C
To the truth
Bb F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Bb F
Likely one of us will have to spend
C
Some days alone
Bb F
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C Bb
But one day I'll be gone
Dm C
Or one day you'll be gone
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
Bb F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Bb F
Likely one of us will have to spend
C
Some days alone
Bb F
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C Bb
But one day I'll be gone
Dm C
Or one day you'll be gone
Bb F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Bb F
Likely one of us will have to spend
C
Some days alone
Bb F
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C Bb
But one day I'll be gone
Dm C
Or one day you'll be gone
