Lifetime

Intro: (x2) Allie woke up eight am graduation day got into her car crashed along the way we arrived late, to the wake, stole the urn while they looked away and drove to the beach, cause I knew you'd want it that way We were standing on the hood of the car singing out loud when the sun came up And I know it wasn't right, but it felt so good And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would And that REM song was playing in my mind. And three and a half minutes... felt like a lifetime (PAUSE) felt like a lifetime And you move like water I could drown in you And I fell so deep once Till you pulled me through you would tell me No one is allowed to be so proud They never reached in till they'd given up (?) And I know it wasn't right, but it felt so good And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would And that REM song was playing in my mind. And three and a half minutes... felt like a lifetime (LISTEN TO THE CD FOR THE TIMING, IT'S ALL FAST BAR CHORDS) Are you standing in the light, combing your hair again and talking in ryhmes (HOLD) are you standing in the light When I got home heard the phone, your parents had arrived Your dad set his jaw, your ma just smiled and sighed But they left soon, so I went to my room played that disc that you'd given me Shut my eyes, I swear I could hear the sea We were standing on the hood of the car singing out loud when the sun came up And I know it wasn't right, but it felt so good And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would And that REM song was playing in my mind. And three and a half minutes... felt like a life time <G
