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