It Was Fun While It Lasted

It Was Fun While It Lasted
Written and record by Bill Anderson


Intro:

G                          C            D7
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted
    G              C    D7   G
But it just didn't last long enough

                                   C
I just read the saddest letter and before I cry I'd better
        G                             D7
Let you know I’ll never stand in your way
         G
I'm your old love he's your new love
       C
But if you're sure he's the true love
     G            D7               G
I'll bow out gracefully and simply say

                           C            D7
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted
G          C               G
Ours was a special sort of love
                           C            D7
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted
    G              C    D7   G
But it just didn't last long enough

                                           C
I can't say goodbye with laughter but I'll promise ever after
     G                                  D7
When I think of you my lonely lips will smile
        G                      C
I'll be all alone tomorrow but there'll be no pain or sorrow
       G                 D7             G
Just a happy thought you loved me for a while

Repeat #2

                  C    D7   G
No it just didn't last long enough
