Verse
Gm Cm F
Up on a mountain over the plains
A# A#/A Gm
Christopher sat with his hands to his face
Cm F
This urn is her casket, this ash her remains
A# A#/A Gm
It doesn't feel right just to throw it away
Cm F
So he kept it with him everywhere that he strayed
A# A#/A Gm
With long narrow shadows he shouldered the weight
Cm F
If I keep her with me, then I'll keep her safe
A# A#/A
He choked down the words that he wanted to say
[Chorus]
D# A# F Gm F D#
Wish I could run from the place that poisons my passion away
A# F
Wish I never wrote her anything
Gm F Gm
Let this be the last song I sing
[Interlude]
Gm Cm F A# A#/A (x2)
{Verse]
Gm Cm F
Grooves in his shoulders, the urn still in his clasp
A# A#/A Gm
Christopher struggled against the river so fast
Cm F
Imaginary messiahs like the world on his back
A# A#/A Gm
pushed him under the current where he drowned with the ash
Cm F
No moral to your story
A# A#/A Gm
Yeah they're lying again my friend
Cm F A# A#/A
No moral to your story, my friend
[Chorus]
D# A# F Gm F D#
Say goodbye to the place that poisons your passion away
A# F
If you write a lost love anything
Gm F D# D#m
Don't let it be the last song you sing
[Outro]
