Some Things Last A Long Time

Lyrics by Jad Fair, Music by Daniel Johnston

 

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever
Red is strong and blue is pure
Some things last a long time
Some things last a long time

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
I think about you often, often
I won't forget all the things we did
Some things last a long time

Some things last a long time

It's funny, but it's true
And it's true, but it's not funny
Time comes and goes
All of the while, I still think about you
Some things last a long time

Your picture is still on my wall, on my wall
The colors are bright, bright as ever

The things we did, I can’t forget
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime
Some things last a lifetime

Some things last a lifetime

Correction provided by Nachum:

 

I don’t know what C\F was supposed to mean,

But the chords in the verse are:

 Am\C C F9 F, tho it sounds much better if you pick them, like so:
