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