Verse
Bm Em A
Up on a mountain over the plains
D D/C# Bm
Christopher sat with his hands to his face
Em A
This urn is her casket, this ash her remains
D D/C# Bm
It doesn't feel right just to throw it away
Em A
So he kept it with him everywhere that he strayed
D D/C# Bm
With long narrow shadows he shouldered the weight
Em A
If I keep her with me, then I'll keep her safe
D D/C#
He choked down the words that he wanted to say
[Chorus]
G D A Bm A G
Wish I could run from the place that poisons my passion away
D A
Wish I never wrote her anything
Bm A Bm
Let this be the last song I sing
[Interlude]
Bm Em A D D/C# (x2)
{Verse]
Bm Em A
Grooves in his shoulders, the urn still in his clasp
D D/C# Bm
Christopher struggled against the river so fast
Em A
Imaginary messiahs like the world on his back
D D/C# Bm
pushed him under the current where he drowned with the ash
Em A
No moral to your story
D D/C# Bm
Yeah they're lying again my friend
Em A D D/C#
No moral to your story, my friend
[Chorus]
G D A Bm A G
Say goodbye to the place that poisons your passion away
D A
If you write a lost love anything
Bm A G Gm
Don't let it be the last song you sing
