(Verse)
AmDmG
Up on a mountain over the plains
CC/BAm
Christopher sat with his hands to his face
DmG
This urn is her casket, this ash her remains
CC/BAm
It doesn't feel right just to throw it away
DmG
So he kept it with him everywhere that he strayed
CC/BAm
With long narrow shadows he shouldered the weight
DmG
If I keep her with me, then I'll keep her safe
CC/B
He choked down the words that he wanted to say
(Chorus)
FCGAmGF
Wish I could run from the place that poisons my passion away
CG
Wish I never wrote her anything
AmGAm
Let this be the last song I sing
(Interlude)
ADGCC/B
{Verse)
AmDmG
Grooves in his shoulders, the urn still in his clasp
CC/BAm
Christopher struggled against the river so fast
DmG
Imaginary messiahs like the world on his back
CC/BAm
pushed him under the current where he drowned with the ash
DmG
There's no moral to your story
CC/BAm
Yeah they're lying again my friend
DmGC/B
There's no moral to your story, my friend
(Chorus)
FCGAmGF
Say goodbye to the place that poisons your passion away
CG
If you write a lost love anything
AmGFFm
Don't let it be the last song you sing
