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.
