[Verse 1]
F C It's not the long,Dm flowing Amdress that you're Bbin
Or the lightDm coming Amoff of yourBb skin
The fragile heartDm you protected for soAm long
Or the Dmmercy in your sense of right and Fwrong C
It's not your Dmhands searching Amslow in the dark Bb
Or your nailsDm leaving Amlove's waterBbmark
It's not the wayDm you talk me off the roof F
Your Dmquestions like directions to the Ftruth C
[Chorus]
It's Bbknowing that this can't go on forFever
BbLikely one of us will have to spendF some days aClone
BbMaybe we'll get forty years toDmgether But one C
day I'll beBb gone
Or one day you'll beF gone C
[Verse 2]
If we were vamDmpires and Amdeath was a joke Bb
We'd go Dmout on the Amsidewalk andBb smoke
DmLaugh at all the lovers and theirF plans
I Dmwouldn't feel the need to hold yourF hand C
Maybe Dmtime running Amout is a gift Bb
I'll work Dmhard 'til the Amend of myBb shift
And Dmgive you every second I can find F
And Dmhope it isn't me who's left behind F C
[Chorus]
It's Bbknowing that this can't go on forFever
BbLikely one of us will have to spendF some days aClone
BbMaybe we'll get forty years toDmgether But one C
day I'll beBb gone
Or one day you'll beF gone C
