C                       Am
You tend to the garden, Ill trim the weeds
C                              Am
The vines grew tall but theres some beauty underneath
C                       Am
May not be much but its everything we need
     C          Am
Its ours and thats enough for me

C
Years fly by
Am        F
Or rot my teeth
C
We all want an endless love
Am               F
To keep away the aging
C
An endless love
Am          F
No endless sleep
   C                       Am        F
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave

Am                     F
Sit on these steps and touch the paint
Am                          F
So both our ghosts remember, dont cry
Am                     F
Etch our names into the wood
Am                     F
So all our words will linger on
Am               F
Like the rake and the spade
Am                     F
In the garden that we made
Am                     F             C
It was a garden right here, forever


C                    Am
I used to wonder how I would fill the years
C                       Am
A life is too long if theres no love for you to share
C                  Am
So when I met you, I finally felt fear
C                    Am
Because I never want this to end
C                     Am
We lay in bed late and talk of life and death
C                   Am
Of all the poets who laid their minds to rest
C                     Am
The questions always, what happens next?
C                       Am
And its a sore subject (just bones and flesh)

C
Years fly by
Am        F
Or rot my teeth
C
We all want an endless love
Am               F
To keep away the aging
C
An endless love
Am          F
No endless sleep
   C                       Am        F
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave

Am                     F
Sit on these steps and touch the paint
Am                          F
So both our ghosts remember, don’t cry
Am                     F
Etch our names into the wood
Am                     F
So all our words will linger on
Am               F
Like the rake and the spade
Am                     F
In the garden that we made
Am                     F             C

Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave

C
An endless love
Am          F
No endless sleep
   C                       Am        F
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave
