William Elliott Whitmore - Lord Only Knows

Intro: D.......C...G

G..................................................................C..................G
Well, them loved ones who were paddlin' for that far shore

G.........................................................................D
They're lilies of the field who will bloom never more

G.......................................C.....................G
Well, they have gone over to the next phase

G..........................................D..............G
And brought to an end their earthly days


D.......................................C....................G
And lord only knows how's it's gonna end

D
Who stays and who goes

C..............G
Lord only knows

G.........................................C..................G
And every good chapter it comes to a close

D.................................C..............G
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows

Them flowers from your funeral are starting to wilt
From cigarette smoke and a room full of guilt
But it was better for them than sticking around
Cause they lost their will to live when ripped from the ground

And lord only knows how it's gonna end
What dies and what goes
Lord only knows
And every good chapter it comes to a close
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows

Well, you had a heart as big as the sky
And for a good long time it healed me inside
But it was better for you than sticking around
Cause you lost your will to live in this river front town

And lord only knows how's it's gonna end
Who stays and who goes
Lord only knows
And every good chapter it comes to a close
Nothing lasts forever, lord only knows
Enjoy it while you can cause lord only knows
