Intro: F Am G (x2) F Am G Allie woke up eight am graduation day F Am G got into her car crashed along the way F Am G we arrived late, to the wake, stole the urn while they looked away F Am G and drove to the beach, cause I knew you'd want it that way Dm Dm / Em We were standing on the hood of the car F G singing out loud when the sun came up F Am G And I know it wasn't right, but it felt so good F Am G And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would F Am G And that REM song was playing in my mind. Dm Dm / Em And three and a half minutes... F G felt like a lifetime F Am G F Am G (PAUSE) felt like a lifetime F Am G And you move like water F Am G I could drown in you F Am G And I fell so deep once F Am G Till you pulled me through you would tell me Dm Dm / Em No one is allowed to be so proud F G They never reached in till they'd given up (?) F Am G And I know it wasn't right, but it felt so good F Am G And your mother didn't mind, like I thought she would F Am G And that REM song was playing in my mind.
