  E                            A                                 E  A
Dreaming only lasts until you wake up and you find you're not asleep
 E                               A                               E  A
Silence only sticks around till someone in the room decides to speak

     A
And luck runs out and hearts go cold
       E  
We're only young until we're old
     F#m                                 E
And summer leaves us wondering where it went
       A
The friends you have can disappear
       E  
The whole world can change within a year
     F#m                          E
And money only lasts until it's spent

Chorus:
    B C#m F#m B
But you, you
            E      A
You last a lifetime
            E      A
You last a lifetime

Truth will change and time will fly
The party lasts until the wine is gone

This time next week the radio will change its mind
And play a different song
We stay in touch till we forget
And beauty fades, the kiss will end
And fame will love and leave you just as fast
You’ll have it all, until it’s gone
The books get burnt and statues fall
Sometimes feels like nothing will ever last

Chorus:
But you, you
You last a lifetime
You last a lifetime

C#m  B           A
Hey love can we dance together?
C#m      B                    A
Since I found you feels like time don't matter
C#m  B          A
Hey love now I feel much better
C#m           B      A
You've shown me forever

Chorus:
See you, you
You last a lifetime
You last a lifetime
