🎸 Verse 1:
C                                        Fmaj7
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
C                              Fmaj7
Or the light coming off of your skin
F                     C                Am
The fragile heart you protected for so long
F                    C                  Am      G
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
C                                       Fmaj7
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
C                           Fmaj7
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
F                    C               Am
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
F                    C                Am      G
Your questions like directions to the truth

🎸 Chorus:
F                                  C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F                                   C                G
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
F                            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C  G
Or one day you'll be gone


🎸 Verse 2:
C                                 Fmaj7
If we were vampires and death was a joke
C                               Fmaj7
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
F                 C                Am
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
F                    C                Am     G
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
C                          Fmaj7
Maybe time running out is a gift
C                                Fmaj7
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
F                  C             Am
And give you every second I can find
F                 C             Am       G
And hope it isn't me who's left behind


🎸 Chorus:
F                                  C
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
F                                   C                G
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
F                            C
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C  G
Or one day you'll be gone
