C Cadd9
The other day, when we were walking by the graveyard near the house,
G Am
You asked me if I thought we would ever die.
C Cadd9
And if life and love both fade so predictably,
G Am
We've made ourselves a kind of predictable life.
C Cadd9
And so I pictured us like corpses, lying side by side in pieces,
G Am
In some dark and lonely blood under a bow.
C Cadd9
We looked so silly there, all decomposed, half turned to dust,
G Am
In tattered clothes, but we probably look just as silly now.
C Cadd9
Bye bye bye bye, bye bye to all this dogged innocence.
G F
I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next,
Am
Or how to be.
C Cmaj9 Am G F C
But you have no idea about me, do you?
C Cadd9
And it left me to wonder if people will ever know each other
G Am
By just stumbling around like strangers in the dark.
C
'Cause sometimes you seem so strange to me,
Cadd9
I must seem strange to you.
G Am
We're like two actors playing our parts.
C
Did you memorize your lines?
Cadd9
'Cause I did. Here's the part where I get so mad,
G Am
I tell you I can't forget the past.
C
You get so quiet now, and you seem, somehow,
Cadd9
Like a lost and lonely child.
G Am
And you just hope that the moment won't last.
C Cadd9
Bye bye bye bye, bye bye to all this dogged innocence.
G F
I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next,
Am
Or how to be.
C Cmaj9 Am G F
But you have no idea about me.
C Cmaj9 Am G F C
You have no idea about me, do you?
F C
So there's always a way around.
F C
There's something tying our feet to the ground,
F Am
A moment passed, we hate how it sounds.
C Cmaj9 Am G F
And it seems a little less profound,
C Cmaj9 Am G F
Like we're all going the same way down.
C Cmaj9 Am G F
Yeah we're all going the same way down,
C Cmaj9 Am G F
I'm just trying to write it all down.
C G
'Cause I write songs, and you write letters,
F G
We are tied like two, in tethers.
F G F G
And we talk and read, and laugh and sleep, at night in bed, together.
F G
And you wake in tears sometimes,
F G
I can see the thoughts flash across your eyes.
F G
They say "Darling, will you be kind?
F G Am
Will you be a good man, and stay behind if I get old?"
F G
And then the letters all pass through my head,
C Cmaj9 Am
With the words that I was told,
F G
About the fading flesh of life and love,
C Cmaj9 Am
the failures of the bold.
F G
I can list each crippling fear l
C Cmaj9 Am
ike I'm reading from a will.
C Cmaj9 Am G F
And I'll defy everyone and love you still,
C Cmaj9 Am G F
I will carry you with me up every hill.
C G C Cmaj9 Am
And if you die before I die, I'll carve your name out of the sky,
F G C Cmaj9 Am
I'll fall asleep with your memory and dream of where you lie.
F G C G
It may be better to move on, and to let life just carry on,
Am
And I may be wrong.
C
But still, I'll try.
F G C Cmaj9 Am
'Cause it's better to love whether you win or lose or die,
F G C Cmaj9 Am
Yeah, It's better to love whether you win or lose or die.
F G C Cmaj9 Am C
It's better to love, and I will love you 'til I die.
