If we were vampires [Am] - Jason Isbell Am Em F It's not the long, flowing dress that you're in Am Em F Or the light coming off of your skin F C The fragile heart you protected for so long F C G Or the mercy in your sense of right and wrong Am Em F It's not your hands searching slow in the dark Am Em F Or your nails leaving love's water-mark F C It's not the way you talk me off the roof F C G Your questions like directions to the truth |[Chorus] | F C |It's knowing that this can't go on for-ever |F C G |Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone |F C |Maybe we'll get forty years to-gether | G F |But one day I'll be gone | C G |Or one day you'll be gone [Verse 2] Am Em F If we were vampires and death was a joke Am Em F We'd go out on the sidewalk and smoke F C Laugh at all the lovers and their plans F C G I wouldn't feel the need to hold your hand Am Em F Maybe time running out is a gift Am Em F I'll work hard 'til the end of my shift F C And give you every second I can find F C G And hope it isn't me who's left behind [CHORUS X 2]
