[Verse]

Am       Dm                  G
Up on a mountain over the plains
             C            C/B     
Christopher sat with his hands to 
     Am
his face
                 Dm                
This urn is her casket, this ash 
      G
her remains
                 C             C/B
It doesn't feel right just to 
       Am
throw it away
               Dm                
So he kept it with him everywhere 
            G
that he strayed
                  C        
With long narrow shadows he 
  C/B             Am
shouldered the weight
               Dm               
If I keep her with me, then I'll 
           G
keep her safe
                          C     
He choked down the words that he 
     C/B
wanted to say

[Chorus]

F             C            G    
Wish I could run from the place 
       Am         G         F
that poisons my passion away
              C            G
Wish I never wrote her anything
     Am          G           Am
Let this be the last song I sing

[Interlude]

Am Dm G C C/B (x2)

{Verse]

Am               Dm              
Grooves in his shoulders, the urn
               G
 still in his clasp
                 C                
Christopher struggled against the 
C/B       Am
river so fast
              Dm                   
Imaginary messiahs like the world 
       G
on his back
                       C           
pushed him under the current where 
     C/B            Am
he drowned with the ash
    Dm            G
No moral to your story
              C     C/B       Am
Yeah they're lying again my friend
    Dm            G                
No moral to your story, my friend
C   C/B


[Chorus]

F        C          G     
Say goodbye to the place that 
     Am           G        F
poisons your passion away
                C            G
If you write a lost love anything
          Am         G          
Don't let it be the last song you 
   F   Fm
sing
