Good While It Lasted

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                                
Gave up all those childish ways 
   F
that made me old too soon
Dm                                 
Things were going good there for a 
G
while
  F                   G     
I tried to straighten out the 
          C               Am
crooked road that I was on
       C                           
It was good while it lasted but it 
G               C
didn't last too long


[Verse 2]

  C                                
I used to play down on Broadway, 
  G
the same song every night
Am                      F
Singing for the tip jar underneath 
the neon light
      C                            
Had a good time with the women and 
    G
the compliments were free

  Am                               
I dreamed of something bigger but 
       F
it just wasn't meant to be
Dm                          G
But I was happy there for a while
     F      G              C     
Just like a desperado out 
         Am
searching for a song
       C                           
It was good while it lasted but it 
G               C
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                           
You ended up beside me like some 
 G
long forgotten dream
    Am                        
You took my hand and showed me 
        F
colors I had never seen
C                     G
We both said forever, forever till 
the end
    Am                             
But forever's something different 
    F
to a lover and a friend
   Dm                              
We thought we had it all there for 
  G
a while
    F                  G          
Just lIke that perfect moment 
       C                Am
'tween the darkness and the dawn
       C                           
It was good while it lasted but it 
G               C
didn't last too long

F               G                 
One thing I can tell you from this 
 C
life that's come and gone
       C                           
It was good while it lasted but it 
G               Am
didn't last too long
       C                           
It was good while it lasted but it 
G               C
didn't last too long
