I worked out the chords from a video I think if anyone has any adjustments they
want to make comment!
Chords used: Cm bar chord G# bar chord and I THINK a chord I don't know the
name of which looks like this [665044] which I'll call G#2 for this purpose :

[G#2]We got high a[Cm] thousand tim[G#]es in your b[G#2]rothers room
Talked about how we break free, guess it came too soon

[G#]We grew up,[G#2] drifted a[G#]part, now y[G#2]oure gett[Cm]ing married
[G#]While Im waiting f[G#2]or my life to start

[G#2]Are you rea[G#]dy to make[G#2] that call?
[Cm]Its gon[G#]na be a [G#2]lifetime
[G#2]It was onl[G#]y a few y[G#2]ears ago, [Cm]but it fe[G#]els like a[G#2] lifetime

The year your brother left home is mostly you and me
We spend our whole summer there on his balcony
We were young, that was then
And I cant help the feeling that is never coming back again

Are you ready to make that call?
Its gonna be a lifetime
It was only a few years ago, but it feels like a lifetime

Are you ready to make that call?
Its gonna be a lifetime
It was only a few years ago, but it feels like a lifetime

[G#2]And we used to dream of wh[G#]at was beyond these walls
And we used to pray that one day well see them fall
And therell be nothing, nothing but time
And therell be nothing, nothing but time

[G#2][G#][G#2]
