================

G+G
Allie woke up 8AM
F# minorF#m
Graduation day.
Cadd9Cadd9
Got into a car,
Dsus2Dsus2
And crashed along the way.

G+G
When we arrived late to the wake,
Dsus2Dsus2
Stole the urn while they looked away,
Cadd9Cadd9
And drove to the beach
     F# minorF#m
'Cause I knew you'd want it that way.

Am7Am7
And you were standing on the hood of the car
F# minorF#m
Singing out loud when the sun came up.

*CHORUS:*
   G+G
And I know I wasn't right,
        Dsus2Dsus2
But it felt so good.
G*
And your mother didn't mind,
          F# minorF#m
Like I thought she would.
     G+G
And that REM song was playing
    D MajorD
In my mind.
   C majorC
And three and a half minutes
D MajorD
Felt like a lifetime...
           F# minorF#m
It felt like a lifetime

*BRIDGE*
          F# minorF#m
And you move like water (yeah...)
        Dsus2Dsus2
I could drown in you.
        F# minorF#m
And I fell so deep once, (yeah...)
          Dsus2Dsus2
Till you pulled me throoough (ohh ohh...)
 Dsus2Dsus2
You would tell me
Am7Am7
"No one is allowed to be so proud
F# minorF#m
They never reach out when they're giving up."
    G+G
And I know I wasn't right,
        Dsus2Dsus2
But it felt so good.
     G*
And your mother didn't mind,
          F# minorF#m
Like I thought she would.
     G+G
And that REM song was playing
Dsus2Dsus2
In my mind.
C majorC
And three and a half minutes
D MajorD
Felt like a lifetime...

F# minorF#m
Are you sitting in the lights?
        G*
Or combing your hair again,
        Dsus2Dsus2
And talking in rhymes?
F# minorF#m
Are you sitting in the liiiights?

(softly...)
G+G
When I got home, heard the phone,
     D MajorD
Your parents had arrived.
C majorC
And your dad set his jaw
D MajorD
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
(getting louder...)
G+G
But they left soon and I went to my room.
F# minorF#m
Played that disc that you'd given me,
    G*
And I shut my eyes
           Dsus2Dsus2
Swear I could hear the sea...

Am7Am7
When we were standing on the hood of your car
D MajorD
Singing out loud when the sun came up.

*CHORUS*
    G+G
And I know I wasn't right,
        Dsus2Dsus2
But it felt so good.
    G*
And your mother didn't mind,
          F# minorF#m
Like I thought she would.
     D MajorD
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
C majorC
And three and a half minutes,
C majorC
Three and a half minutes,
G+G
