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