John Mellencamp - Longest days

Se^Fems like once upon a time a^Cgo ^FI was where I was supposed to ^Cbe ^FMy vision was true and my ^Cheart was too There was n^Fo end to what I could ^Gdream ^FI walked like a hero into the setting ^Csun ^FEveryone called out my ^Cname ^FDeath to me was just a ^Cmystery ^FI was too busy raising up ^GCain

^FBut nothing lasts f^Corever ^FYour best efforts don't always ^Cpay ^FSometimes you get sick And don't get ^Cbetter ^FThat's when life is short ^GEven in its longest ^Cdays

^FSo you pretend not to ^Cnotice ^FThat everything has ^Cchanged ^FThe way that you look And the f^Criends you once had ^FSo you keep on acting the ^Gsame ^FBut deep down in your ^Csoul You know you, ^Fyou got no ^Cflame ^FAnd who knows then which ^Cway to go ^FLife is short even in^G its longest ^Cdays ^FAll I got here ^GIs a rear view mirror ^FReflections of where I've ^Gbeen ^FSo you tell yourself I'll be back up on t^Cop some day ^FBut you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway ^G

^FNothing lasts ^Cforever ^FAnd your best efforts don't always ^Cpay ^FSometimes you get sick And you don't g^Cet better That's when life is sh^Fort E^Gven in its longest ^Cdays ^FLife is short ^GEven in its longest ^Cdays
