Good While It Lasted

Intro: Am7 C G Dsus4 (x2) 


            Am7         C 
You're like sleep, take what I can get 
         G               Fsus2             C 
But I've gotta make some sense of this, so here the fuck I sit 
   Am7            C 
At 3 a.m., trying way too hard 
   G                 Fsus2          C 
To find the words to slow my sweet, addicted heart 


            Am7                C 
You're like sleep, I can't get near enough 
         G                 Fsus2             C 
And I pretend that I don't need you when I'm out doing stuff 
        Am7                 C 
Went so deep, a lucky young man's dream 
         G                 Fsus2        C 
And last time I tried this sober, I was seventeen 


G                 Dsus4               A7sus4 
   And all that I needed was all that I had 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 
G                        Dsus4                A7sus4 
  You let me kiss you on Broadway in a black Cadillac 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 
G                      Dsus4                          A7sus4 
   Last night I didn't sleep at all, I found another empty wall 
           G/B     Cadd9 
And I couldn't get past it 
G                          Dsus4                     A7sus4 
  And for a minute in the afternoon, I almost didn't think of you 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 


              Am7             C 
It's more than real, a plastic universe 
      G               Fsus2           C 
And I wanna know your secrets, even when it hurts 
            Am7                          C 
You speak so soft, but there's something dark in there 
      G                 Fsus2             C 
And I think I'll ask for more than just a love affair 
            Am7                       C 
You're like sleep, and the nights are adding up 
        G                   Fsus2          C 
Well, I wish I still smoked cigarettes and acted tough 


G                 Dsus4                A7sus4 
   And all that I needed was all that I had 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 
G                       Dsus4                   A7sus4 
   With your head on my shoulder, my soldiers retreated 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 
G                          Dsus4                        A7sus4 
   A mattress on the palace floor and a light I'd never seen before 
            G/B    Cadd9 
And I couldn't get past it 
G                              Dsus4                             A7sus4 
   And for a little while this afternoon, I dreamed that I was in your room 
                G/B      Cadd9 
And it was good while it lasted 


A7sus4       G/B        Cadd9 
Baby, let me learn from you 
A7sus4        G/B           Cadd9 
How'd you get that shade of blue? 
A7sus4         G/B            Cadd9 
What's it like from where you stand? 
A7sus4      G/B         Cadd9 
Let me hold your steady hand 

 
G                 Dsus4                A7sus4 
   And all that I needed was all that I had 
            G/B      Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted 
G                   Dsus4                  A7sus4 
   Now I feel like a boy who got caught being bad 
                G/B      Cadd9 
And it was good while it lasted 
G                           Dsus4                        A7sus4 
    That night you came and stayed with me, painted on my memory 
         G/B   Cadd9 
I'll never get past it 
G                  Dsus4                            A7sus4 
   I got to hold a piece of you in the evening on the avenue 
           G/B       Cadd9 
It was good while it lasted
