* strum once
[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
C*Changed my direction
G*Sang a different tune
Am* G* F*Gave up all those childish things that make you old too soon
F* G*Things were going good there for a while
Am* G* F*I tried to straighten out this crooked road that I was on
C* G* C*It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
[Verse 2]
CI used to sing on Broadway
GSame songs every night
Am G FPlaying for a tip jar underneath the neon lights
CHad a good time with the women
GAnd the compliments came free
Am G FI dreamed of something bigger but it wasn't meant to be
GI thought I had it all there for a while
Am FJust like a desperado out there searching for a song
C G Cadd9It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
[Bridge]
G F CNothing lasts forever and time knows that it's true
Am GSometimes just a little while is the best that we can do
[Verse 3]
CYou ended up beside me
GLike a long-forgotten dream
Am G FPicked me up and showed me colors I had never seen
CSaid we'd stay together
GTogether til the end
Am G FBut the end means something different to a lover than a friend
GWe thought we had it all there for a while
Am G FJust like that perfect moment before the darkness turns to dawn
C G AmIt was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
C G Cadd9It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
