                   Emeli Sande - Lifetime
Intro: E  
DrEeaming only lasts until you wAake up and you find you're not aslEeepA  
SEilence only sticks around till sAomeone in the room decides to spEeakA  
And lAuck runs out and hearts go cold
      E(4)
We're only young until we're old
And sF#mummer leaves us wondering where iEt went
The friAends you have can disappear
      E(4)
The whole world can change within a year
                              F#m  E(4)
And money only lasts until it's spent
But ByoC#mu, ..F#m.youB  
You last a lEifetimeA  
You last a lEifetimeA  
ETruth will change and time will fly
The pAarty lasts until the wine is gEoneA  
EThis time next week the radio will chAange its mind
And play a different C#msongA  
We stBay in touch till we forget
And C#mbeauty fades the kiss will end
And fG#7ame will love and leave you just as fAast
You'll hBave it all until it's gone
The bC#mooks get burnt and statues fall
SG#7ometimes feels like nothing will Aever last
     A  E(4)  F#m   B  
But you, ...you
You last a lC#mifetimeB  
You last a lAifetimeB  
C#mHey lBove can we dAance together?
