[Intro]
Em Bm C Em Bm C
Em/A G, Em/A G Dsus4

[Verse]
                  Em                Bm                      C
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
           Em               Bm              C
Or the light coming off of your skin
                   Em                                    G
The fragile heart you protected for so long
             Em                                              G      D
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong

[Verse]
                     Em                      Bm              C
It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
              Em               Bm                C
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
                  Em                                G
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
          Em                                            G    D
Your questions like directions to the truth

[Chorus]
        C                                             G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
      C                                    G                           D
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
   C                                            Em
Maybe we'll get forty years together
  D                          C                                     Em  D
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

[Verse]
                   Em                Bm              C
If we were vampires and death was a joke
       Em                      Bm                 C
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
         Em                                           G
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
      Em                                                G    D
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand

[Verse]
           Em                Bm          C
Maybe time running out is a gift
              Em              Bm             C
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
       Em                                     G
To give you every second I can find
        Em                                          G  D
And hope it isn't me who’s left behind

[Chorus]
          C                                           G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
     C                                       G                         D
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
   C                                          Em
Maybe we'll get forty years together
  D                         C                                       Em D
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

[Interlude]
Em Bm C Em Bm C
Em/A G, Em/A G Dsus4

[Chorus]
         C                                          G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
      C                                     G                        D
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
   C                                         Em
Maybe we'll get forty years together
   D                         C                                     Em   D
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

[Outro]
