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