A Lifetime chords by Better Than Ezra

Better Than Ezra

A Lifetime

From the album “Closer”

 

Standard Tuning

Cadd9           G/B
Allie woke up 8AM
G              Fill 1

Graduation day…

(Now you just repeat that progression until…)

 

      D
And you were standing
                      E F

On the hood of the car

Singing out loud
          G 

When the sun came up.


Chorus:

       Cadd9

And I know I wasn't right,
 G/B             G   Fill 1  

But it felt so good…

(repeat this for the rest of chorus until)

 

      D                      E F

…And three and a half minutes
G

It felt like a lifetime

(Now those are the main parts of the song, just repeat them as necessary!
The bridge is played only on an electric, and sounds kinda weak acoustic,
so you might wanna play it using barre chords instead of octaves) 

 

Here’s the riff to the bridge.

 

G|-9--7--5--7--7-7-5--5-5-/-7--7-7----------------
D|------------------------------------------------
A|-7--5--3--5--9-5-3--3-3-/-5--5-5----------------

That kinda shows the timing, but listen to the CD while you give it a go.
