John Mellencamp - Longest days

^GbSeems like once upon a time ^Dbago ^GbI was where I was supposed to b^Dbe ^GbMy vision was true and my h^Dbeart was too There was no ^Bbmend to what I could ^Abdream ^GbI walked like a hero into the setting s^Dbun ^GbEveryone called out my n^Dbame ^GbDeath to me was just a m^Dbystery I was too ^Bbmbusy raising up ^AbCain

^GbBut nothing lasts fo^Dbrever ^GbYour best efforts don't always p^Dbay ^GbSometimes you get sick and don't get ^Dbbetter ^BbmThat's when life is short ^Gbeven in its ^Ablongest ^Dbdays

^GbSo you pretend not to n^Dbotice ^GbThat everything has c^Dbhanged ^GbThe way that you look and the ^Dbfriends you had So you ^Bbmkeep on acting the ^Absame ^GbBut deep down in your s^Gboul ^GbYou know you, you got no ^Dbflame ^GbAnd who knows then which w^Dbay to go ^BbmThat's when life is short ^Gbeven in its ^Ablongest ^Dbdays

^BbmAll I got here is a ^Abrear view mirror ^BbmReflections of where I've ^Abbeen So you ^Bbmtell yourself I'll be back up on top some^Ab day But you ^Gbknow there's nothing waiting up there for you any^Abway

^GbBut nothing lasts fo^Dbrever ^GbYour best efforts don't always p^Dbay ^GbSometimes you get sick and don't get ^Dbbetter ^BbmThat's when life is short ^Gbeven in its ^Ablongest ^Dbdays ^BbmThat's when life is short ^Gbeven in its ^Ablongest ^Dbdays
