Verse
F C G Am
My light has gone, the world spun on
F C G
I threw myself away
F C G Am
Into a bag the army had
F G Am
And died in its green shape
F C G Am
The drunks, your dog, a whirling log
F C G
These things that I won't say
F C G Am
They all provide a darker side
F G Am
These things, they keep me gray
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
[Verse]
F C G Am
I lost my love, my wooden dove
F C G
She broke then went away
F C G Am
She flew outside in white moonlight
F G Am
That dove, she made me great
F C G Am
We have a child, she got my smile
F C G
She got most everything
F C G Am
I'd apologize for a missed life
F G Am
If I just knew her name
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
G Am
Oh don't you cry
F C G
We're only alone for one life
F C G
We're only alone for one life
F C G
We're only alone
