Good While It Lasted Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I smoked my last cigarette
I drank my last drop
Quit doing all the things I swore
I'd never [C]stop
Changed my direction
[G]Sang a different tune
[Am]Gave up all those child[G]ish things
that [F]make you old too soon
Things were going good [Dm]there for [G]a while
I [Am]tried to straighten [G]out this
crooked [F]road that I was on
It was [C]good while it lasted
but it [G]didn't last [C]too long

[Verse 2]
[C]I used to sing on Broadway
[G]Same songs every night
[Am]Playing for a tip jar unde[G]r
[F]neath the neon lights
Had a [C]good time with the women
And the [G]compliments came free
I [Am]dreamed of something [G]bigger
but [F]it wasn't meant to be
I thought I had it all there [G]for a while
Just [Am]like a desper[G]ado out there
[F]searching for a song
It was [C]good while it lasted but it
[G]didn't last too [C]long

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]Nothing lasts forever [F]and time
knows that it's [C]true
[Am]Sometimes just a little while is the be
[G]st that we can do

[Verse 4]
[G]
[C]You ended up beside me
Like some [G]long- forgotten dream
[Am]Picked me up [G]and showed me colors
[F]I had never s[C]een
Said we'd stay together
To[G]gether til the end
But the [Am]end means something
[G]different to a [F]lover than a friend
We thought we had it all there for [G]a while
Just [Am]like that perfect [G]mo ment before
the dark[F]ness turns to dawn
It was [C]good while it lasted but
it [G]didn't last too [Am]long
It was [C]good while it lasted
but it [G]didn't last too long
