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