[Verse 1]
      G              Em  G      C          C
Out on Allen Street, it's 7 in the morning
      G              Em  G      C               C
If I help him up, will he give me fair warning?
      G                Em          G      C
Let me lick the wounds I got while I was out last night


[Bridge]
F#            G             Em
Wish you were here with me but
Em
Your girlfriend's wasting your time

[Chorus]
F
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
I feel better safe than sorry
F                            G   Em
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
I feel better safe than sorry
F                            G Em
Nothing's gonna last forever

[Verse 2]
      G              Em  G      C          C
Out on Bowery at midnight in the summer
          G                 Em        G        C       C
I can't help but smile when she says I'm her lover
        G              Em  G      C          C
Back in Harlem now, you won't even call me
     
[Bridge 2]
F#            G            Em
Cut myself up, now it makes me feel more holy

[Chorus]
F
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
I feel better safe than sorry
F                            G   Em
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
Nothing's gonna last forever
F
I feel better safe than sorry
F                            G Em
Nothing's gonna last forever
