[First Part]

              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

[Chorus]

      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

[Segunda Parte]

           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

[Chorus]

       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

[Chorus]

       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
