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