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 Legend: * strum once
