Capo 7

[Intro]
D MajorD G+G (x3)
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD


[Verse 1]
     D MajorD            A7A7
I been working here, Monday, it'll be a year
    D MajorD      D/F#D/F#            G+G
And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
         D MajorD            A7A7
But I keep on showing up, hell-bent on growing up
         G+G    D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
If it takes a lifetime

           D MajorD               A7A7
I'm learning how to be alone, fall asleep with the TV on
    D MajorD        D/F#D/F#        G+G
And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
       D MajorD             A7A7
I keep my spirits high, find happiness by and by
         G+G    D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
If it takes a lifetime

[Chorus]
    G+G              D MajorD
I got too far from my raisin', I forgot where I come from
     D MajorD               A7A7
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
     D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
Well I thought the highway loved me
     G+G       D MajorD
But she beat me like a drum
  D MajorD       A7A7        G+G   D MajorD
My day will come, if it takes a lifetime

D MajorD G+G (x3)
D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD


[Verse 2]
        D MajorD             A7A7
I don't keep liquor here, never cared for wine or beer
    D MajorD       D/F#D/F#       G+G
And working for the county keeps me pissin' clear
        D MajorD                A7A7
The nights are dry as dust, but I'm letting my eyes adjust
         G+G    D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
If it takes a lifetime

[Chorus]
    G+G              D MajorD
I got too far from my raisin', I forgot where I come from
     D MajorD               A7A7
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
     D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
Well I thought the highway loved me
     G+G       D MajorD
But she beat me like a drum
  D MajorD       A7A7        G+G   D MajorD
My day will come, if it takes a lifetime

[Verse 3]
      D MajorD                A7A7
Man is a product of all the people that he ever loved
   D MajorD        D/ED/E D/F#D/F#      G+G
And it don't make a difference how it ended up
         D MajorD               A7A7
If I loved you once my friend, oh, I can do it all again
         G+G    D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
If it takes a lifetime


[Chorus]
    G+G                 D MajorD
We got too far from our raisin' and we fought 'til we went numb
      D MajorD              A7A7
You were running up a mountain in your own mind
     D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
And I thought that I was running to
  G+G        D MajorD
But I was running from
     D MajorD       A7A7        G+G   D MajorD
Oh, our day will come, if it takes a lifetime
   D MajorD       A7A7        G+G
Our day will come, if it takes a lifetime

D MajorD G+G (x3)
