[Verse]
It's not the Em/Along flowing dBmress that you're iCn
Or the lEm/Aight coming Bmoff of your sCkin
The fragile hEm/Aeart you protected for so lGong
Or the mEm/Aercy in your sense of right and wrGong Dsus4
[Verse]
It's not your hEm/Aands, searching sBmlow in the dCark
Or your nEm/Aails leaving lBmove's watermaCrk
It's not the Em/Away you talk me off the roGof
Your qEm/Auestions like directions to the truGth Dsus4
[Chorus]
It's kCnowing that this can't go on foreGver
LikCely one of us will have to spGend some days aDsus4lone
MaCybe we'll get forty years togeEm/Ather
BuDsus4t one day I'll be goCne or one day you'll be Em/Agone Dsus4
[Verse]
If we were vaEm/Ampires and dBmeath was a joCke
We'd go Em/Aout on the sidBmewalk and smCoke
And lEm/Aaugh at all the lovers and their plGans
I wEm/Aouldn't feel the need to hold your haGnd Dsus4
[Verse]
Maybe tEm/Aime running Bmout is a gCift
I'll work hEm/Aard 'til the Bmend of my shiCft
To Em/Agive you every second I can fGind
And Em/Ahope it isn't me who’s left behiGnd Dsus4
[Chorus]
It's kCnowing that this can't go on foreGver
LikCely one of us will have to spGend some days aDsus4lone
MaCybe we'll get forty years togeEm/Ather
BuDsus4t one day I'll be goCne or one day you'll be Em/Agone Dsus4
