C G C Am C G the other day , when we were walking by the graveyard near the house , you C Am C asked me if i thought we would ever die . and if life and love both fade so G C Am predictably , we’ve made ourselves a kind of predictable life . C G C and so i pictured us like corpses , lying side by side in pieces , in some dark Am C and lonely blood under a bow . we looked so silly there , all decomposed , half G Am turned to dust , in tattered clothes , but we probably look just as silly now . C G C bye bye bye bye , bye bye to all this dogged innocence . i cant pretend that i G Am C B/C can tell you what is going to happen next , or how to be . but you have no i - A/C G/C Am C dea about me , do you? C G and it left me to wonder if people will ever know each other by just C Am C stumbling around like strangers in the dark . ’cause sometimes you seem so G C strange to me , i must seem strange to you . we’re like two actors playing our Am C G parts . did you memorize your lines? ’cause i did . here’s the part where i get C Am C so mad , i tell you i cant forget the past . you get so quiet now , and you G C seem , somehow , like a lost and lonely child . and you just hope that the Am moment wont last . C G C bye bye bye bye , bye bye to all this dogged innocence . i cant pretend that i G Am C B/C can tell you what is going to happen next , or how to be . but you have no i - A/C G/C Am C B/C A/C G/C Am C dea about me , no i - dea about me , do you? C Am C so there’s always a way around . there’s something tying our feet to the Am G Am ground . a moment passed , we hate how it sounds . C B/C A/C G/C Am C B/C A/C G/C Am and it seems a little less profound . like we’re all going the same way down . C B/C A/C G/C Am C B/C A/C G/A Am yeah we’re all going the same way down . i’m just trying to write it all down . C G Am ’cause i write songs , and you write letters . we are tied like two , in G C G Am tethers . and we talk and read , and laugh and sleep , at night in bed , G C G Am together . and you wake in tears sometimes , i can see the thoughts flash G C G across your eyes . they say "darling , will you be kind? will you be a good Am G Am man , and stay behind if i get old?" C G C B/C and then the letters all pass through my head , with the words that i was Am C G C B/C Am told . about the fading flesh of life and love , the failures of the bold . i C G C B/C Am can list each crippling fear like i’m reading from a will . C B/C A/C G/C Am C B/C A/C G/C and i’ll defy everyone and love you still . i will carry you with me up every Am Am B/C C B/C Am Am hill . if you die before i die , i’ll carve your name out of the sky . i’ll fall B/C C B/C Am asleep with your memory and dream of where you lie . C G Am G it maybe better to move on , and to let life just carry on . and i may be Am C wrong . but still , i’ll try . Am B/C C B/C Am Am ’cause it’s better to love whether you win or lose or die . yeah , it’s better B/C C B/C Am Am B/C C to love whether you win or lose or die . it’s better to love , and i will love B/C Am you ’til i die . end on C if you have any questions , email me : musiclovr5567@yahoo . com this is an amazing song , closing an amazing album . hope you guys enjoy :
