Good While It Lasted chords by Will Hoge

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
N.C.
I smoked my last cigarette
N.C.
I drank my last drop
N.C.
Quit doing all the things I swore I'd never stop
F*
Changed my direction
G*
Sang a different tune
Fm*        G*          C*
Gave up all those childish things that make you old too soon
C*                 G*
Things were going good there for a while
 Fm*         G*        C*
I tried to straighten out this crooked road that I was on
    F*             G*       F*
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long

Verse 2:
FF
I used to sing on Broadway
G+G
Same songs every night
F minorFm      G+G      C majorC
Playing for a tip jar underneath the neon lights
   FF
Had a good time with the women
    G+G
And the compliments came free
 F minorFm          G+G       C majorC
I dreamed of something bigger but it wasn't meant to be
                  G+G
I thought I had it all there for a while
   F minorFm             C majorC
Just like a desperado out there searching for a song
    FF              G+G        Fadd9Fadd9
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long


Bridge:
G+G             C majorC          FF
Nothing lasts forever and time knows that it's true
F minorFm                  G+G
Sometimes just a little while is the best that we can do


Verse 3:
FF
You ended up beside me
    G+G
Like a long-forgotten dream
F minorFm        G+G        C majorC
Picked me up and showed me colors I had never seen
FF
Said we'd stay together
G+G
Together til the end
    F minorFm         G+G       C majorC
But the end means something different to a lover than a friend
                   G+G
We thought we had it all there for a while
   F minorFm        G+G         C majorC
Just like that perfect moment before the darkness turns to dawn
    FF              G+G        F minorFm
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
    FF              G+G        Fadd9Fadd9
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
