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