D 
We're not long for this world 
          A              D 
We're not long for this world 
        G         D 
And the way I can tell 
     G            D 
Is I know you too well 
          A             D 
We're not long for this world 
G 
I know the words that you say 
                       D 
And the words that you mean 
G 
And I remember the days 
                    D         A 
When you meant everything 
          D 
We're not long for this world 
          A             D 
We're not long for this world 
        G         D 
And the way I can tell 
     G            D 
Is I know you too well 
          A             D 
We're not long for this world 
 
SOLO 
 
G 
You hold me close in your arms 
               D 
And I feel the cold 
G 
But you never meant any harm 
                     D    A 
By the lies that you told 
          D 
We're not long for this world 
          A              D 
We're not long for this world 
        G         D 
And the way I can tell 
     G            D 
Is I know you too well 
          A             D 
We're not long for this world 
        G         D 
And the way I can tell 
     G            D 
Is I know you too well 
          A             D 
We're not long for this world
