[Verse 1]
Dm F Bb
It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in
Dm F Bb
Or the light coming off of your skin
Bb F
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Bb F C
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
Dm F Bb
It's not your hands searching slow in the dark
Dm F Bb
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
Bb F
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Bb F C
Your questions like directions to the truth
[Chorus]
Dm F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
Dm F C
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Dm F
Maybe we'll get forty years together
C Bb
But one day I'll be gone
Bb F C
Or one day you'll be gone
[Verse 2]
Dm F Bb
If we were vampires and death was a joke
Dm F Bb
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
Bb F
Laugh at all the lovers and their plans
Bb F C
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
Dm F Bb
Maybe time running out is a gift
Dm F Bb
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
Bb F
And give you every second I can find
Bb F C
And hope it isn't me who's left behind
[Chorus]
Dm F
It's knowing that this can't go on forever

Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
