A Lifetime Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F,C,G x2

(F,C,G)

Allie woke up 8AM, graduation day.

Got into a car, and crashed along the way.

When we arrived late to the wake, stole the urn while they looked away,

And drove to the beach cause I knew you'd want it that way

 And Dmyou were standing on the hood of the caCr

 SinFging out loud when the sun Gcame up.

Chorus

FAnCd GI know I wasn't right, but it felt so good.

And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would.

And that REM song was playing in my mind.

 And Dmthree and a half minCutesF

GFelt like a lifetime

F C G It felt like a lifetimFe C G

(F,C,G)

And you move like water, I could drown in you

And I fell so deep once, till you pulled me through

You would tell me

 "DmNo one is allowed to be so prouCd

FThey never reach out when they're Ggiving up."

Chorus

(Go back and forth between F and C, listen to the recording)

Are you sitting in the lights? Or combing your hair again,

And talking in rhymes? Are you sitting in the lights?

(F,C,G)

When I got home, heard the phone, your parents had arrived.

And your dad set his jaw, your mom just smiled and sighed.

But they left soon and I went to my room.

Played that disc that you'd given me

And I shut my eyes, swear I could hear the sea.

 When Dmwe were standing on the hood of your caCr

FSinging out loud when the Gsun came up.

Chorus

DmAnd three and a half minCutFesG,

DmThree and a half minutesC, F

GFelt like a lifetime.
