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