[C]The other day, when we were walking by the[Cadd9] graveyard near the house,
You asked me[G] if I thought we would ever di[Am]e.
[C]And if life and love both fade so pre[Cadd9]dictably,
We've made ourselves [G]a kind of predictable [Am]life.
And so I[C] pictured us like corpses, lying side by si[Cadd9]de in pieces,
In some [G]dark and lonely blood under a bow.[Am]
We looked s[C]o silly there, all decomposed, half t[Cadd9]urned to dust,
In tattered clothes, but we proba[G]bly look just as silly no[Am]w.
Bye bye[C] bye bye, bye bye to all this do[Cadd9]gged innocence.
I can't[G] pretend that I can tell you what is[F] going to happen next,
Or ho[Am]w to be.
[C]Bu[Cmaj9]t you h[Am]ave [G]no[F] idea about me, do you[C]?
And it [C]left me to wonder if people will [Cadd9]ever know each other
By jus[G]t stumbling around like strangers in t[Am]he dark.
'Ca[C]use sometimes you seem so strange to me,
[Cadd9]I must seem strange to you.
We're like t[G]wo actors playing our [Am]parts.
Did you[C] memorize your lines?
'Cause I did. Here's the pa[Cadd9]rt where I get so mad,
I [G]tell you I can't forget the [Am]past.
You get s[C]o quiet now, and you seem, somehow,
Li[Cadd9]ke a lost and lonely child.
And you just[G] hope that the moment won't last[Am].
Bye by[C]e bye bye, bye bye to all this dogg[Cadd9]ed innocence.
I [G]can't pretend that I can tell you what [F]is going to happen next,
Or h[Am]ow to be.
[C]Bu[Cmaj9]t you h[Am]ave [G]no[F] idea about me.
[C]You[Cmaj9] have n[Am]o id[G]ea [F]about me, d[C]o you?
So th[F]ere's always a way aro[C]und.
There[F]'s something tying our feet to t[C]he ground,
A mo[F]ment passed, we hate how it soun[Am]ds.
[C]And[Cmaj9] it see[Am]ms a[G] li[F]ttle less profound,
[C]Lik[Cmaj9]e we're[Am] all[G] go[F]ing the same way down.
[C]Yea[Cmaj9]h we're[Am] all[G] go[F]ing the same way down,
[C]I'm[Cmaj9] just t[Am]ryin[G]g t[F]o write it all down.
'Cause I w[C]rite songs, and you write letters,[G]
We are [F]tied like two, in tethers.[G]
And we[F] talk and read, and laugh [G]and sleep, at nig[F]ht in bed, together.[G]
And[F] you wake in tear[G]s sometimes,
I can s[F]ee the thoughts fla[G]sh across your eyes.
They [F]say "Darling, will you be ki[G]nd?
Will you be a good [F]man, and stay b[G]ehind if I get old?[Am]"
And then the[F] letters all pass[G] through my head,
[C]Wit[Cmaj9]h the words[Am] that I was told,
Abou[F]t the fading flesh of life [G]and love,
[C]the[Cmaj9] failur[Am]es of the bold.
I ca[F]n list each crippli[G]ng fear l
[C]ike[Cmaj9] I'm readi[Am]ng from a will.
An[C]d I[Cmaj9]'ll defy[Am] eve[G]ryo[F]ne and love you still,
I [C]wil[Cmaj9]l carry [Am]you [G]wit[F]h me up every hill.
And if[C] you die before [G]I die, I'll carve [C]you[Cmaj9]r name out o[Am]f the sky,
I'[F]ll fall asleep wi[G]th your memory and[C] dr[Cmaj9]eam of where y[Am]ou lie.
It [F]may be better to move on[G], and to let life [C]just carry on,[G]
And I may be[Am] wrong.
But still[C], I'll try.
'Ca[F]use it's better t[G]o love whether you wi[C]n o[Cmaj9]r lose [Am]or die,
Ye[F]ah, It's better to[G] love whether you win[C] or[Cmaj9] lose o[Am]r die.
It[F]'s better to love,[G] and I will[C] love[Cmaj9] you 'til I di[Am]e.[C]
