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