Christopher Acordes

	  
Verse 

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

F             C            G           Am         G         F 
Wish I could run from the place 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 

Verse 

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

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