The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're not long for this world we're not long for this world
And the way I can tell is I know you too well
We're not long for this world
I know the words that you say and the words that you mean
And I remember the days when you meant everything
We're not long for this world...
[ ac.guitar ]
You hold me close in your arms and I feel the cold
Oh but you never meant any harm by the lies that you told
We're not long for this world...
