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