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

[Chorus]
F
It's knowing that this
             C
can't go on forever
F
It's likely one of us will
          C
have to spend some
         G
days alone
F
Maybe we'll get
              C
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
If we were vampires
               Fmaj7
and death was a joke
C
We'd go out on the
              Fmaj7
sidewalk and smoke
F                 C
Laugh at all the lovers
            Am
 and their plans
F
I wouldn't feel the
   C                Am G
need to hold your hand
C
Maybe time running
         Fmaj7
out is a gift
C
I'll work hard 'til
              Fmaj7
the end of my shift
F
And give you every
  C             Am
 second I can find
F                 C
And hope it isn't me
            Am       G
who's left behind
