John Mellencamp - Longest days

^FSeems like once upon a time^C a go ^FI was where I was supposed to^C be ^FMy vision was true and my ^C heart was too T^AMhere was no end to what I could ^G dream ^FI walked like a hero into the set^Cting sun ^FEveryone called out my^C name D^Feath to me was just a^C mystery ^AMI was too busy raising up^G Cain

^FBut nothing lasts f^Corever ^FYour best efforts don't always^C pay ^FSometimes you get sick And yo^Cu don't get better That's when life is^AM short ^FEven in its^G longest ^C days

^FSo you pretend not to ^C notice ^FThat everything has ^C changed ^FThe way that you look And the ^Cf riends you once had ^AMSo you keep on acting the ^G same

^FBut deep down in your ^C soul Y^Fou know you, you got no^C flame ^FAnd who knows then which ^C way to go Life^AM is short ^Feven in its^G longest ^C days ^AMAll I got here ^GIs a rear view mirror ^AMReflections of where I've ^G been ^AMSo you tell yourself I'll be back up on ^Gtop some day ^FBut you know there's nothing waiting up there for you^G anyway ^FNothing lasts ^C forever ^FAnd your best efforts don't always^C pay ^FSometimes you get sick And you^C don't get better That's when life is^AM short ^FEven in its^G longest ^C days ^AMLife is short ^FEven in its ^G longest^C days
