**CAPO 2**
C G
Allie woke up 8AM
D/F#m
Graduation day.
C9
Got into a car,
G * D9
And crashed along the way.
C G
When we arrived late to the wake,
D9
Stole the urn while they looked away,
C9
And drove to the beach
G * D/F#m
'Cause I knew you'd want it that way.
Am Am7
And you were standing on the hood of the car
C D/F#m
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
*CHORUS:*
C G
And I know I wasn't right,
D9
But it felt so good.
C9 G *
And your mother didn't mind,
D/F#m
Like I thought she would.
C G
And that REM song was playing
D
In my mind.
Am Am7 C
And three and a half minutes
D
Felt like a lifetime...
C G D/F#m
It felt like a lifetime
*BRIDGE*
C G D/F#m
And you move like water (yeah...)
C9 G * D9
I could drown in you.
C G D/F#m
And I fell so deep once, (yeah...)
C9 G * D9
Till you pulled me throoough (ohh ohh...)
D9
You would tell me
Am Am7
"No one is allowed to be so proud
C D/F#m
They never reach out when they're giving up."
C G
And I know I wasn't right,
D9
But it felt so good.
C9 G *
And your mother didn't mind,
D/F#m
Like I thought she would.
C G
And that REM song was playing
D9
In my mind.
Am Am7 C
And three and a half minutes
D
Felt like a lifetime...
C G D/F#m
Are you sitting in the lights?
C9 G *
Or combing your hair again,
D9
And talking in rhymes?
C9 G * D9 D/F#m
Are you sitting in the liiiights?
(softly...)
C G
When I got home, heard the phone,
D
Your parents had arrived.
C
And your dad set his jaw
G D
Your mom just smiled and sighed.
(getting louder...)
C G
But they left soon and I went to my room.
D/F#m
Played that disc that you'd given me,
C9 G *
And I shut my eyes
D9
Swear I could hear the sea...
Am Am7
When we were standing on the hood of your car
C D
Singing out loud when the sun came up.
*CHORUS*
C G
And I know I wasn't right,
D9
But it felt so good.
C9 G *
And your mother didn't mind,
D/F#m
Like I thought she would.
C G D
And that REM song was playing in my mind.
Am Am7 C
And three and a half minutes,
D9 Am7 C
Three and a half minutes,
D G
Felt like a lifetime.
