          C              C    C   C
We're not long for this world
          G              C    C
We're not long for this world

F        F          F            F            C    C   G   G
And I remember the days when you meant everything

We're not long for this world
We're not long for this world
And the way I can tell is I know you too well
We're not long for this world

You hold me close in your arms, and I feel the cold
But you never meant any harm by the lies that you told

We're not long for this world
We're not long for this world
And the way I can tell is I know you too well
We're not long for this world
