Better Than Ezra - A Lifetime Intro: F,C,G x2 (F,C,G) Allie woke up 8AM, graduation day. Got into a car, and crashed along the way. When 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 Dm C And you were standing on the hood of the car F G Singing out loud when the sun came up. Chorus: --------- F,C,G And I know I 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. --------- Dm C F And three and a half minutes G Felt like a lifetime F,C,G F,C,G It felt like a lifetime (F,C,G) 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 Dm C "No one is allowed to be so proud F G They never reach out when they're giving up." Chorus (Go back and forth between F and C, listen to the recording) Are you sitting in the lights? Or combing your hair again, And talking in rhymes? Are you sitting in the lights? (F,C,G) When I got home, heard the phone, your parents had arrived. And your dad set his jaw, your mom just smiled and sighed. But they left soon and I went to my room. Played that disc that you'd given me And I shut my eyes, swear I could hear the sea. Dm C When we were standing on the hood of your car F G Singing out loud when the sun came up. Chorus Dm C,F,G And three and a half minutes, Dm C,F Three and a half minutes, G Felt like a lifetime.
