[Verse]
                          Am         Bb     Bbmaj7
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in    
Bb                     Am     Bb   Bbmaj7
■  Or the light coming off of your skin  
                      Dm7           F      
The fragile heart you protected for so long
   Dm                                   F     C
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong ■
              Gsus4           Am          Bbmaj7 Bb
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark   ■ 
                      Am     Gm7       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                    
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Bb                          Dm7     
Maybe we'll get forty years together
    C            Bb                        F       C
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone ■


[Verse]
           Dm           Am          Gm7  Bbmaj7
If we were vampires and death was a joke ■     
                   Am       Bbmaj7    Bb
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke ■ 
                     Dm         F          
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
  Dm                             F    C   
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Dm         Am               Bbmaj7
Maybe time running out is a gift  
          Dm7           Am     Bb      
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
Dm7                             F   
And give you every second I can find
    Dm7                         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      
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C            Bb                     F  C   
One day I'll be gone one day you'll be gone
