[Verso 1]

              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 

 

[Verso 2]

           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
