Good While It Lasted chords by Hayes Carll
Guitar chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
C G
I smoked my last cigarette, I drank my last drop
Am F
Quit doing all the things I swore I'd never stop
C G
I changed my direction, I sang a different tune
Am F
Gave up all those childish ways that made me old too soon
Dm G
Things were going good there for a while
F G C Am
I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on
C G C
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
🎸

[Verse 2]
C G
I used to play down on Broadway, the same song every night
Am F
Singing for the tip jar underneath the neon light
C G
Had a good time with the women and the compliments were free
Am F
I dreamed of something bigger but it just wasn't meant to be
Dm G
But I was happy there for a while
F G C Am
Just like a desperado out searching for a song
C G C
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
[Bridge]
G
Nothing lasts forever
F C
Time knows that it's true
Am
But sometimes a little while
G
Is the best that we can do
[Verse 3]
C G
You ended up beside me like some long forgotten dream
Am F
You took my hand and showed me colors I had never seen
C G
We both said forever, forever till the end
Am F
But forever's something different to a lover and a friend
Dm G
We thought we had it all there for a while
F G C Am
Just lIke that perfect moment 'tween the darkness and the dawn
C G C
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
[Outro]
F G C
One thing I can tell you from this life that's come and gone
C G Am
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
C G C
