Everybody knows the story,
D C
they've got the details, what the score is
Em G D C
But if you want the truth, girl, you may need more than a day
Em G
You need to move just a little closer,
D C
These walls have ears if you didn't know girl,
Em G D C
There's certain things that you need to know, before you go on your way
Em G D C
It seems the world is a little busy selling lives on for a living
Em G D C
But in the blinking of an eye, the truth has slipped away
D Em D C
And the writing's written on the wall, for everyone to see
Em G D C
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
Em G D C
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
Em G D C
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
Em G D C
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind
Moving on to the next installment
'case the bar-room jury dies of boredom
The vultures are a-waiting, for the next meal of the day
Another tale so sad and sorry 'bout another love that went so wrong
And all the years of guts and glory that pushed it all along
It's hard to find the words to say
You just let the days go by come what may
All the things that we should have done that just happened anyway
And the writing's written on the wall, for everyone to see
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind
Em G D C x 4
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
It lives on, even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind
