[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][F][C][G]
[F]Allie woke

[Verse 1]
[C]up 8AM,
[G]graduation day.
[F]Got into a car, crashed [C]along [G]the way.

[Verse 2]
[G]
When [F]we arrived late to the [C]wake,
[G]Stole the urn while they looked away,
And [F]drove to the beach 'cause I
[C]knew you'd want it that [G]way.

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Dm]And you were standing on the
hood of [Em]the car
[F]Singing [Am]out [F]loud when [G]the sun came up.

[Verse 4]
And I [F]know I wasn't right,
[C]but it felt so [G]good.
And your [F]mother didn't mind,
[C]like I thought she [G]would.
And [F]that REM song was play
[C]ing in my [G]mind.
[Dm]And three and a half minutes,
[Em]felt[F] lik[G]e a [Dm]lifetime[G][F]
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Felt like a [Em]lifetime
[F][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
And you move like [F]water, [Am]yeah[G]
I could drown [Em]in y[F]ou.[Am][G]
And I felt [Em]so de[F]ep once,
[Am]till[G] you pulled me through
[F][Am][G]

[Verse 7]
You would tell me,
[Dm]"No one is allowed to be so proud
[Em]They never[F] reach out when
they're giv[G]ing up."

[Verse 8]
And I [F]know I wasn't right,
[C]but it felt so goo[G]d.
[Em]And your m[F]other didn't mind,
[C]like I thought she wou[G]ld.
[Em]And [F]that REM song was
[C]playing in my [G]mind.
[C]An d [Dm]three and a half minutes,
[Em]felt[F] lik[G]e a lifetime
[Em][Dm][Em][Dm][F][G]

[Verse 9]
[Em]Are [Dm]you
[F]sit[Em]ting [Dm]in the l[C]ight[F]s?
[G]Or combing your hair aga[Em]in,[Dm][Em]
[Dm]And talk[Em]ing in rhyme[F]s?[G]
[Em]Are [Dm]you s[F]itt[Dm]ing in the l[F]ights[G]?

[Verse 10]
[G]When I [Dm]got h[F]ome, h[Dm]eard the phone[C],
your par[G]ents had arrived.
And your [F]dad set his jaw,
your ma just [C]smiled and sighed.
[G]

[Verse 11]
But [F]they left [G]soon and I
went to my room.
Played that disc that you'd [Em]given [G]me,
And [F]I shut my eyes,
[Am]swear I could [C]hear [G]the sea.

[Verse 12]
[Dm]We were standing on the hood of your car
[Em]Sing[F]ing out loud when
[G]the sun came up.

[Verse 13]
And I [F]know I wasn't right,
[C]but it felt so goo[G]d.
[Em]And your m[F]other didn't mind,
[C]like I thought she wou[G]ld.
[Em]And [F]that REM song was
[C]playing in my [G]mind.
[C]An d [Dm]three and a half [Em]minutes,[F][G]
[Dm]Three and a [Em]half minutes,
[F]fel[G]t like a lifetime.
