F         C         G          Am
My light has gone, the world spun on
  F       C     G
I threw myself away
  F    C       G    Am
Into a bag the army had
    F       G         Am
And died in its green shape

    F            C      G        Am
The drunks, your dog, a whirling log
      F           C       G
These things that I won't say
     F      C      G      Am
They all provide a darker side
      F            G       Am
These things, they keep me gray


[Chorus]
G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life
G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life


[Verse]
  F       C         G      Am
I lost my love, my wooden dove
    F          C      G
She broke then went away
    F       C       G        Am
She flew outside in white moonlight
     F         G        Am
That dove, she made me great

   F      C          G       Am
We have a child, she got my smile
    F        C    G
She got most everything
    F    C        G        Am
I'd apologize for a missed life
   F      G        Am
If I just knew her name


[Chorus]
G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life
G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life

G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life
G            Am
Oh don't you cry
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life
       F      C          G
We're only alone for one life
       F      C   G
We're only alone
