[Verse]
C            G            Am                Bb
It's not the long flowing dress 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                               F     C
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong ■
              Dm              Am          Bb  
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Bbmaj7         Bb    Dm      Am     Bb       
■      Or your nails leaving love's watermark
             Dm      Dm7             F   
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
     Dm                               F     C
Your questions like directions to the truth ■
Bb                                 F      
It's knowing that this can't go on forever


[Chorus]
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  
But one day I'll be gone
                  Dm     
Or one day you'll be gone


[Verse]
C            Dm7          Am          Bb  
■ If we were vampires and death was a joke
        Dm         Am           Bb   
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
Dm7      Dm      Dm7              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   Dm7      Am        Bb   
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
   Dm             Dm7          F   
To give you every second I can find
    Dm                          F      C
And hope it isn't me who's left behind ■
Bb                            F      
Knowing that this can't go on forever


[Chorus]
Bb                                 F          C         
It's likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Bb                          Dm      
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

It's ■  likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
                      Dm            
Maybe we'll get forty years together

Thank you thank you
               Bb                     
That's another one off that new record
