================
[C]Allie woke up 8[G]AM
[D/F#m]Graduation day.
[Cadd9]Got into a car,
G* Dsus2
And crashed along the way.
[C]When we arrived late [G]to the wake,
[Dsus2]Stole the urn while they looked away,
[Cadd9]And drove to the beach
G* D/F#m
'Cause I knew you'd want it that way.
[Am]And you were standing on the [Am7]hood of the car
[C]Singing out loud when t[D/F#m]he sun came up.
*CHORUS:*
And I [C]know I wasn't right,[G]
But it felt so g[Dsus2]ood.
Cadd9 G*
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she w[D/F#m]ould.
And that [C]REM song was [G]playing
In my m[D]ind.
And t[Am]hree and a half minut[Am7]es[C]
[D]Felt like a lifetime...
It felt like a lifeti[C]me[G] [D/F#m]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/better_than_ezra/a_lifetime_acoustic_crd.html )
*BRIDGE*
And you move like w[C]ater ([G]yeah..[D/F#m].)
Cadd9 G* Dsus2
I could drown in you.
And I fell so d[C]eep once, ([G]yeah...[D/F#m])
Cadd9 G* Dsus2
Till you pulled me throoough (ohh ohh...)
Yo[Dsus2]u would tell me
[Am]"No one is allowed to [Am7]be so proud
[C]They never reach out when they'r[D/F#m]e giving up."
And I k[C]now I wasn't right,[G]
But it felt so g[Dsus2]ood.
Cadd9 G*
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she [D/F#m]would.
And that [C]REM song was p[G]laying
[Dsus2]In my mind.
[Am]And three and a half mi[Am7]nutes[C]
[D]Felt like a lifetime...
[C]Are you si[G]tting in the l[D/F#m]ights?
Cadd9 G*
Or combing your hair again,
And talking in [Dsus2]rhymes?
Cadd9 G* Dsus2 D/F#m
Are you sitting in the liiiights?
(softly...)
[C]When I got home, [G]heard the phone,
Your pare[D]nts had arrived.
[C]And your dad set his jaw
[G]Your mom just smiled and [D]sighed.
(getting louder...)
[C]But they left soon and I [G]went to my room.
[D/F#m]Played that disc that you'd given me,
Cadd9 G*
And I shut my eyes
Swear I could hear th[Dsus2]e sea...
[Am]When we were standing on the [Am7]hood of your car
[C]Singing out loud when the s[D]un came up.
*CHORUS*
And I k[C]now I wasn't righ[G]t,
But it felt so g[Dsus2]ood.
Cadd9 G*
And your mother didn't mind,
Like I thought she [D/F#m]would.
And that R[C]EM song was pla[G]ying in my mi[D]nd.
[Am]And three and a half m[Am7]inutes,[C]
[Dsus2]Three and a [Am7]half minute[C]s,
[D]Felt like a l[G]ifetime.
