[Dm]
Verse 1:
[F] [C] It's not the long,[Dm]long, flowing [Am]dress that you're [Bb]in
Or the light[Dm]light coming [Am]off of your[Bb]your skin
The fragile heart[Dm]heart you protected for so[F]so long
Or the [Dm]mercy in your sense of right and [F]wrong[C]wrong
It's not your [Dm]hands searching [Am]slow in the dark[Bb]dark

It's not the way[Dm]way you talk me off the roof[F]roof
Your [Dm]questions like directions to the [F]truth[C]truth
Chorus:
It's [Bb]knowing that this can't go on for[F]forever
[Bb]Likely one of us will have to spend[F]spend some days a[C]alone

day I'll be[Bb]be gone

If we were vam[Dm]vampires and [Am]death was a joke[Bb]joke
We'd go [Dm]out on the [Am]sidewalk and[Bb]and smoke
[Dm]Laugh at all the lovers and their[F]their plans
I [Dm]wouldn't feel the need to hold your[F]your hand[C]hand
Maybe [Dm]time running [Am]out is a gift[Bb]gift
I'll work [Dm]hard 'til the [Am]end of my[Bb]my shift
And [Dm]give you every second I can find[F]find
And [Dm]hope it isn't me who's left behind[F]behind [C]

It's [Bb]knowing that this can't go on for[F]forever
