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