GbGb DbDb GbGb DbDb
Seems like once upon a time ago I was where I was supposed to be
GbGb DbDb BbmBbm AbAb
My vision was true and my heart was too There was no end to what I could dream
GbGb DbDb GbGb DbDb
I walked like a hero into the setting sun Everyone called out my name
GbGb DbDb BbmBbm AbAb
Death to me was just a mystery I was too busy raising up Cain
CHORUS
GbGb DbDb GbGb DbDb
But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts don't always pay
GbGb DbDb
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb DbDb
That's when life is short even in its longest days
GbGb DbDb GbGb DbDb
So you pretend not to notice That everything has changed
GbGb DbDb BbmBbm AbAb
The way that you look and the friends you had So you keep on acting the same
GbGb GbGb GbGb DbDb
But deep down in your soul You know you, you got no flame
GbGb DbDb
And who knows then which way to go
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb DbDb
That's when life is short even in its longest days
BRIDGE
BbmBbm AbAb
All I got here is a rear view mirror
BbmBbm AbAb
Reflections of where I've been
BbmBbm AbAb
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
GbGb AbAb
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway
CHORUS
GbGb DbDb GbGb DbDb
But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts don't always pay
GbGb DbDb
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb DbDb
That's when life is short even in its longest days
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb DbDb
That's when life is short even in its longest days
