Chord/Tab song: Good Lives

"Good Lives" by Eve 6
tabbed by Gage Brown
Submitted by Andrew Crump

NOTE: Since Eve 6 only uses one guitar, the guitar plays the following lead riffs for
entire song. I have, however, provided the chords along with the lyrics for reference,
you want to play it acoustic by yourself.

There's a [C#m]plastic toy four door in the [E]cereal box and

He's [A]licking off the sugar of the [B]breakfast of chumps

[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

There is no [C#m]floor thirteen, there's not [E]even a second story

You got [A]one to tell and it's [B]sad as hell

[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

[C#m]Grad school kid with [E]wall street glib

Got a [A]suit and a tie and a [B]record with winners

[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

[A]I'm on my way back home now

[E] Good [B]lives are [A]gold, like the oldest story

[E] Will [B]mine be [A]told, while I'm still young and horny?

[E] I [B]know my [A]role is to be a confusion

[E] Set the clock back [B]when I'm growing [A]old

(Repeat intro x1)

This [C#m]kid came over and I [E]let him crash

But he [A]went into my wallet and he [B]grabbed my cash

[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

And the [C#m]good girlfriend, she [E]turned me in

I was [A]lying with my eyes about a[B]dulterous sin

[C#m]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[E]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

[A]I'm on my way back home now

(repeat chorus)

[C#m] I never [E]wanted to be [B]like you or all the rest[A]

[C#m] I've always [E]been the first one to [B]settle for second best[A]

[C#m] I never [E]wanted to be

[B] I never [A]wanted to be

[C#m] I never [B]wanted to be [A]like you

(repeat chorus)

[E]Promise that forever we will [A]never get better at

[C#m]Growing up and learning to [B]lie

(repeat this last part 3 times)

Promise it[E]
