A Lifetime Of Preludes chords by The Gaslight Anthem

• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Intro:

D  A  Bm   (x2)


🎸 Verse 1:
           D            A
They don't know where I was
           Bm                  A           G
They don't know and they can't say whether I should've given up
               D                   A
And they can't feel and they don't see
     Bm             A                   G
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me
       A           G           A
In the dark, on my own

🎸 Chorus:
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms
        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
      G                 A   D      A      Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime

D  A  Bm


🎸 Verse 2:
        D              A
I don't mind what they say
            Bm             A                   G
'Cause they all pretend to care 'til it's inconvenient to stay
       D                     A
And of course, we just smile morе
           Bm             A                G
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be hеre stretched out on the floor
        A           G           A
And the day gets so long


🎸 Chorus:
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms
        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
      G                 A   D      A      Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime

D  A  Bm


🎸 Bridge:
    Bm             A            G           A
I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir
       Bm            A                G                A
And it saddens me to see how far that is from where we are
        Bm           A              G              A
And I'm sorry that I let it end and that it got to me
       G                             A
I just miss the way I see you when I sleep


🎸 Chorus:
    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms
        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
      G             A
And I loved you for dear life

    D     A            Bm      A
But in my dreams I was in your arms
        D        A           Bm        A
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
            D         A         Bm       A
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
      G                 A   D      A    Bm
And I slept there for a lifetime
