Good While It Lasted Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I smoked my last cigarette
[G]I drank my last drop
[Am]Quit doing all the things
[F]That I swore I'd never stop
[C]I changed my direction
[G]Sang a different tune
[Am]Gave up all those childish ways
[F]That made me old too soon

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Things were going good [G]for a while
[F]I tried to straighten [G]out the crooked
[C]road that [G]I was o[Am]n
It [C]was good while it lasted
But it [G]didn't last [C]too long

[Verse 3]
[C]I used to play on Broadway
The [G]same song every night
[Am]Singing for the tip jar
Under[F]neath the neon light
Had a [C]good time with the women
[G]And the compliments were free
[Am]I dreamed of something bigger
But it just [F]wasn't meant to be

[Verse 4]
But [Dm]I was happy there for a [G]while
Just [F]like a desper[G]ado,
out [C]searching [G]for a [Am]song
It [C]was good while it lasted
But it [G]didn't last [C]too long

[Verse 5]
[G]Nothing last forever
[F]Time knows that it's [C]true
[Am]Sometimes a little while's
the [G]best that we can do

[Verse 6]
[G]
You [C]ended up beside me
Like some [G]long-forgotten dream
dream
You [Am]took my hand and showed me colors
[F]I had never seen
[C]We both said forever,
[G]forever till the end
[Am]But forever's something different
To [F]a lover than a friend
We [Dm]thought we had it all

[Verse 7]
there for a [G]while
Just [F]like that perfect [G]moment 'fore
the [C]darkness [G]turned [Am]to dawn
It was [C]good while it lasted
But it [G]didn't last too [C]long
The [F]one thing I [G]can tell from all
this [C]life that's [G]come un[Am]done
It was [C]good while it lasted
But it [G]didn't last too [C]long
[G]It was [C]good while it lasted
But it [G]didn't last [C]too long

[Outro 1]
[C]
