[Verse 1]
I been worGking here, Monday, it'll D7be a year
And I caGn't recall a G/Bday when I didn't wanna disCappear
But I keep on shoGwing up, hell-bent on groD7wing up
If it takes a lifCetime G D7 G
I'm learning how to bGe alone, fall asleep with the D7TV on
And I fiGght the urge to G/Blive inside my telCephone
I keep my spiGrits high, find happiness D7by and by
If it takes a lifCetime G D7 G
[Chorus]
I got tCoo far from my raisin', I forGgot where I come from
And the liGne between right and wrong was D7so fine
Well I thoGught the highway lG/Boved me
But she beCat me like a drGum
My dGay will come, D7if it takes a lifCetime G
G C (x3)
G D7 G
[Verse 2]
I don't keep liqGuor here, never cared for wD7ine or beer
And worGking for the cG/Bounty keeps me piCssin' clear
The nights are dGry as dust, but I'm letting my eD7yes adjust
If it takes a lifCetime G D7 G
[Chorus]
I got tCoo far from my raisin', I forGgot where I come from
And the liGne between right and wrong was D7so fine
Well I thoGught the highway lG/Boved me
But she beCat me like a drGum
My dGay will come, D7if it takes a lifCetime G

Man is a proGduct of all the people that he eD7ver loved
And iGt don't make a dG/AiffeG/Brence how it eCnded up
If I loved you onGce my friend, oh, I can do it aD7ll again
If it takes a lifCetime G D7 G
[Chorus]
We got tCoo far from our raisin' and we fouGght 'til we went numb
You were runGning up a mountain in your oD7wn mind
And I thoGught that I was ruG/Bnning to
But CI was running frGom
Oh, our dGay will come, D7if it takes a lifCetime G
Our dGay will come, D7if it takes a lifCetime
