[B] [C] Now they woke up at a.m.
[G] Graduation day
[C] Got into a car crashed along [G] the way
We arrived [C]
late to the wake [G] stole the urn while they look away
[C] And drove to the beach cuz I knew you'd wanted [G] that away
And [Dm] you were standing on the hood of [Em] the car
[F] Singing out loud [G] when the Sun came up, [F] and I know I wasn't [C] right
But it felt [G] so good
And [F] your mother [Dm] didn't [C] mind like I thought [G] she would
[C] [G] [F] And that Irian song [C] was playing in [G] my mind
[C] [G] [Dm] Three and a half [Em] minutes
[F]
[G] Felt [F] like a lifetime
[C] Felt [G]
like a [F] lifetime
[C] And [G]

I'm drowning [F] you
[C] and [G]
I felt [F] so deep

To pull [F] me [C] through
[G]
No [Dm] one is allowed to be so [Em] proud [F] they never reach out [G] when they can't enough [F] and I know I wasn't [C] right
But it felt [G] so good
[F] And your mother didn't [C] mind
Like I thought [G] she would
[Em] [F] And that Irian song [C] was playing in [G] my mind
[Dm] three and a half [Em] minutes

Heard the phone [G] your parents had arrived and your dad said his [C] job your ma just smiled [G] and sighed
[F] But they left soon [C] and I went to my room
[G] Made that this that you've given me [F] and I shut my eyes
[C] Swear, I could hear [G] me say
[D] We were standing on the hood of [Em] your car [F] See
And [G] [F] I know I wasn't [C] right but it felt [G] so good
[F] And your mother didn't
[C] mind
Like I thought [G] she would
[F] And I'd already in so [C] much pain in [G] my mind
[Dm] three and a half [Em] minutes
[F] Like
[G] [Dm]
[Em] [F]
[G] a lifetime
