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