[Intro]
C Fmaj7
C Fmaj7
F C Am
F C Am G
[Verse 1]
C                 
It's not the long, 
flowing dress that
     Fmaj7
 you're in
C                  
Or the light coming
            Fmaj7
 off of your skin
F                    
The fragile heart you
 C                Am
protected for so long
F                   
Or the mercy in your 
 C                  Am    G
sense of right and wrong
C                  
It's not your hands 
                     Fmaj7
searching slow in the dark
C                    
Or your nails leaving 
       Fmaj7
love's watermark
F                   
It's not the way you
 C               Am
 talk me off the roof
F                  
Your questions like
  C                Am    G
 directions to the truth

[Chorus]
F                     
It's knowing that this 
             C
can't go on forever
F                         
It's likely one of us will
          C       
have to spend some 
         G
days alone
F              
Maybe we'll get 
              C
forty years together
C                    Am
But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C  G
Or one day you'll be gone
[Verse 2]
C                  
If we were vampires 
               Fmaj7
and death was a joke
C                 
We'd go out on the 
              Fmaj7
sidewalk and smoke
F                 C    
Laugh at all the lovers
            Am
 and their plans
F                 
I wouldn't feel the 
   C                Am G
need to hold your hand
C                 
Maybe time running
         Fmaj7
out is a gift
C                  
I'll work hard 'til
              Fmaj7
the end of my shift
F                
And give you every
  C             Am
 second I can find
F                 C 
And hope it isn't me 
            Am       G
who's left behind

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

Or one day you'll be gone
[Chorus]
F                     
It's knowing that this
             C
 can't go on forever
F                         
It's likely one of us will

But one day I'll be gone
Am                   C   G
Or one day you'll be gone
