Good While It Lasted chords by Hayes Carll

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

C majorC              G+G
I smoked my last cigarette, I drank my last drop
A minorAm             FF
Quit doing all the things I swore I'd never stop
C majorC            G+G
I changed my direction, I sang a different tune
A minorAm                  FF
Gave up all those childish ways that made me old too soon
DmDm                 G+G
Things were going good there for a while
 FF          G+G        C majorC        A minorAm
I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on
    C majorC              G+G        C majorC
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long

[Verse 2]

 C majorC                 G+G
I used to play down on Broadway, the same song every night
A minorAm           FF
Singing for the tip jar underneath the neon light
   C majorC                G+G
Had a good time with the women and the compliments were free
 A minorAm                   FF
I dreamed of something bigger but it just wasn't meant to be
DmDm             G+G
But I was happy there for a while
   FF   G+G       C majorC       A minorAm
Just like a desperado out searching for a song
    C majorC              G+G        C majorC
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long


[Bridge]

G+G
Nothing lasts forever
FF          C majorC
Time knows that it's true
  A minorAm
But sometimes a little while
    G+G
Is the best that we can do


[Verse 3]

  C majorC              G+G
You ended up beside me like some long forgotten dream
  A minorAm                FF
You took my hand and showed me colors I had never seen
C majorC           G+G
We both said forever, forever till the end
  A minorAm                 FF
But forever's something different to a lover and a friend
  DmDm                G+G
We thought we had it all there for a while
  FF         G+G         C majorC        A minorAm
Just lIke that perfect moment 'tween the darkness and the dawn
    C majorC              G+G        C majorC
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long


[Outro]

FF        G+G         C majorC
One thing I can tell you from this life that's come and gone
    C majorC              G+G        A minorAm
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
    C majorC              G+G        C majorC
