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