John Mellencamp - Longest days

Se^Cems like once upon a time a^Ggo ^CI was where I was supposed to ^Gbe ^CMy vision was true and my ^Gheart was too There was n^Co end to what I could ^Ddream ^CI walked like a hero into the setting ^Gsun ^CEveryone called out my ^Gname ^CDeath to me was just a ^Gmystery ^CI was too busy raising up ^DCain

^CBut nothing lasts f^Gorever ^CYour best efforts don't always ^Gpay ^CSometimes you get sick And don't get ^Gbetter ^CThat's when life is short ^DEven in its longest ^Gdays

^CSo you pretend not to ^Gnotice ^CThat everything has ^Gchanged ^CThe way that you look And the f^Griends you once had ^CSo you keep on acting the ^Dsame ^CBut deep down in your ^Gsoul You know you, ^Cyou got no ^Gflame ^CAnd who knows then which ^Gway to go ^CLife is short even in^D its longest ^Gdays ^CAll I got here ^DIs a rear view mirror ^CReflections of where I've ^Dbeen ^CSo you tell yourself I'll be back up on t^Gop some day ^CBut you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway ^D

^CNothing lasts ^Gforever ^CAnd your best efforts don't always ^Gpay ^CSometimes you get sick And you don't g^Get better That's when life is sh^Cort E^Dven in its longest ^Gdays ^CLife is short ^DEven in its longest ^Gdays
