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