[Strophe]
G            C       G 
I am now the one she left 
  C                        G 
A haunted tale for someone else 
   C                 G 
A little bit about herself 
  Dsus2             G 
Wherever she is sleeping 
G                    C          G 
Flint strikes out to pierce the dark 
C                          G 
Cause a flame from just one spark 
C                           G 
Fill the room with smoke so harsh 
Dsus2              G 
She exhales a memory
[Refrain]
            Dsus2 
The past is fadin' 
                          Em              C 
Over time, but it's still hangin' on for life
[Strophe]
G           C      G 
I'm now her used to be 
C                     G 
He is now the one she needs 
C                      G 
He is now the one she leans on 
    Dsus2                  G 
She looks out at the sunset 
 G                     C         G 
On a quilt of rags he holds her tight 
        C                 G 
And they raise a toast of Bulleit Rye 
C                           G 
Whiskey kills all things in time 
     Dsus2                 G 
Like things she don't remember
[Refrain]
            Dsus2 
The past is fadin' 
                          Em              C 
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
[Strophe]
G           C    G 
I am now an old headstone 
    C                      G 
And to her grave I'll die alone 
  C                       G 
A testament of how she's grown 
   Dsus2             G 
Wherever she is sleepin'
[Refrain]
            Dsus2 
The past is fadin' 
                          Em              C 
Over time, but it's still hanging on for life
