verse 1
G C G
I am now the one she left
C G
A haunted tale for someone else
C G
A little bit about herself
Dsus2 G
Wherever she is sleeping
G C G
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark
C G
Cause a flame from just one spark
C G
Fill the room with smoke so harsh
Dsus2 G
She exhales a memory
Dsus2
The past is fadin'
E C
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life
verse 2
G C G
I'm now her used to be
C G
He is now the one she needs
C G
He is now the one she leans on
Dsus2 G
She looks out at the sunset
G C G
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight
C G
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye
C G
Whiskey kills all things in time
Dsus2 G
Like things she don't remember
Dsus2
The past is fadin'
E C
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
verse 3
G C G
I am now an old headstone
C G
And to her grave I'll die alone
C G
A testament of how she's grown
Dsus2 G
Wherever she is sleepin'
Dsus2
The past is fadin'
E C
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
