[Verse]
Em/A Bm C
It's not the long flowing dress that you're in
Em/A Bm C
Or the light coming off of your skin
Em/A G
The fragile heart you protected for so long
Em/A G Dsus4
Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong
[Verse]
Em/A Bm C
It's not your hands, searching slow in the dark
Em/A Bm C
Or your nails leaving love's watermark
Em/A G
It's not the way you talk me off the roof
Em/A G Dsus4
Your questions like directions to the truth
[Chorus]
C G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
C G Dsus4
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
C Em/A
Maybe we'll get forty years together
Dsus4 C Em/A Dsus4
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone
[Verse]
Em/A Bm C
If we were vampires and death was a joke
Em/A Bm C
We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke
Em/A G
And laugh at all the lovers and their plans
Em/A G Dsus4
I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand
[Verse]
Em/A Bm C
Maybe time running out is a gift
Em/A Bm C
I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift
Em/A G
To give you every second I can find
Em/A G Dsus4
And hope it isn't me who’s left behind
[Chorus]
C G
It's knowing that this can't go on forever
C G Dsus4
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
C Em/A
Maybe we'll get forty years together
Dsus4 C Em/A Dsus4
But one day I'll be gone or one day you'll be gone

version 5
Tuning:D G C F A D
Capo:no capo
On the recording there are either two guitars playing at the same time or two
layers being used.
I tried to get the tab as accurate as possible in order to play all the notes
with one guitar only.
Jason nearly for the whole song plays a steady bass-line with the thumb,
alternating either between the
thickest and third string (when the root note is on the thickest string), or
on the second and third string
(when the root note is on the second string). This way you can navigate easily
through the tab by looking for
these bass notes, that are constantly on the 1, 2, 3 and 4. It should help you
to get the timing right.

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

Or one day you'll be gone
It's knowing that this can't go on forever

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

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