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