Good While It Lasted chords by Will Hoge

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:
F
I used to sing on Broadway
G
Same songs every night
Fm            G            C
Playing for a tip jar underneath the neon lights
      F
Had a good time with the women
        G
And the compliments came free
  Fm                   G             C
I dreamed of something bigger but it wasn't meant to be
                                   G
I thought I had it all there for a while
     Fm                         C
Just like a desperado out there searching for a song
       F                           G               Fadd9
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long


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


Verse 3:
F
You ended up beside me
       G
Like a long-forgotten dream
Fm               G                C
Picked me up and showed me colors I had never seen
F
Said we'd stay together
G
Together til the end
        Fm                  G              C
But the end means something different to a lover than a friend
                                     G
We thought we had it all there for a while
     Fm                G                 C
Just like that perfect moment before the darkness turns to dawn
       F                           G               Fm
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
       F                           G               Fadd9
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
