Echo and the Bunnymen - Nothing lasts forever

written by Echo and the Bunnymen
chords transcribed by Lupas


I was quite surprised to find out that no one transcribed the chords of
this beautiful song yet, so i thought it was time to give my first
contribution to the OLGA, even though I'm just a beginner in guitar
playing. Corrections and suggestions are obviously more than welcome !

Verse 1 :
C
I want it now
Em
I want it now
          F                                      C
not the promises of what tomorrow brings
                      Em
I need to live in dreams today
  F                                           C
I'm tired of the songs that sorrow sings

Bridge :
C7                                   F
And I want more than I can get
      G
Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Verse 2 :
C                             Em
I'd walk to you through rings of fire
      F                                      C
and never let you know the way I feel
                              Em
under skin is where I hide
F                                                 C
the love that always gets me on my knees

Bridge :
             C7                        F
and I want more than I can get
      G
just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Chorus (X2) :
F
nothing ever lasts forever
                                 C
nothing ever lasts forever

Verse 3:
C
I want it now
Em
I want it now
F                                                 C
don't tell me that my ship is coming in
                                        Em
nothing comes to those who wait
         F                                                C
time's running out the door you're running in

Bridge :
            C7                        F
So I want more than I can get
          G
just trying to, trying to, trying to forget

Chorus (X2) :
F
nothing ever lasts forever
                                 C
nothing ever lasts forever

C                                  F
all the shadows and the pain

are coming to you ...
