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