Not Forever After

Olivia Klugman


Tom: B

B          F#m                     Abm      E
Four shots in you're pouring me a fifth
B                           F# Abm    E
but no girl's ever looked at me like this
B                            F#       Abm      E
your roommate's pissed she's halfway out the door
B                                Abm                   E
we throw our glasses back and I shiver as your hair kisses the floor

[Chorus]
C#m                     F#              B
I can't remember which party we danced through that night
              F#                       Abm
the boys ask stupid questions we just laugh

at the secret we can't hide
C#m                F#              B
for the first time Cinderella's staying out past midnight
                  F#              Abm
your lips pressed soft against my shoulder
C#m
it's not forever
            B
it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older

E Abm F#

[Verse 2]
B          F#m              Abm           E
you grab my hand and drag me to your room
B                     F#6      Abm        E6                   B
my heart takes off and doesn't stop 'til she is halfway to the moon
          F#m            B  Abm   E
suddenly we're sober and we're shy
B                                         C#m              E
but someday we'll be brave enough to look eachother in the eye

[Chorus]
C#m                     F#              B
I can't remember which party we danced through that night
              F#                       Abm
the boys ask stupid questions we just laugh

at the secret we can't hide
C#m                F#              B
for the first time Cinderella can't hear the clock strike
              F#                 Abm
with her lips pressed against my shoulder
Ebm      C#m
it's not forever
            F#6                               B F#m B
it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older
Abm C#m
it's not forever
            B                                 A6 B
it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older

F# Abm C#m
F# F#m Abm

[Bridge]
C#m                        F#                     A6      B
you hid your face the next morning in line for the waffle iron
F#6                  Abm
I forgive you, I was nervous too
C#m                 F#                C#m B          F#6      B6
a couple years flew by 'til we talked for hours at a house party in college park
          C#m
we didn't kiss
    Abm     F#
we just reminisced

[Chorus]
B/A C#m      F#  C#m             Abm
I don't remember which one of us was last to reply
B              Ebm                Abm
the boys still ask me stupid questions I just scoff and roll my eyes
C#m                 Abm    Bb            B
now I know that Cinderella don't need no prince to survive
            F#          Abm
sometimes I check up on your profile
           C#m
it's not forever
               B    F#      B                  F# Abm
it's just the way I tend to think of you and smile
           C#m
it's not forever
                F#               C#m B          Bbm Abm
it's just the way you cross my mind once in a while
           C#m
it's not forever
       B                                      F# B
it's just a moment we can smile at when we're older
