Gb             Db       Gb               Db
Seems like once upon a time ago       I was where I was supposed to be
Gb             Db              Bbm         Ab
My vision was true and my heart was too   There was no end to what I could dream
Gb                   Db  Gb           Db
I walked like a hero into the setting sun  Everyone called out my name
Gb           Db              Bbm       Ab
Death to me was just a mystery       I was too busy raising up Cain

CHORUS
Gb         Db       Gb               Db
But nothing lasts forever      Your best efforts don't always pay
Gb                  Db
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
Bbm            Gb     Ab   Db
That's when life is short even in its longest days
Gb           Db          Gb          Db
So you pretend not to notice        That everything has changed
Gb              Db            Bbm        Ab
The way that you look and the friends you had  So you keep on acting the same
Gb           Gb          Gb            Db
But deep down in your soul         You know you, you got no flame
Gb            Db
And who knows then which way to go
Bbm            Gb     Ab   Db
That's when life is short even in its longest days

BRIDGE
Bbm         Ab
All I got here is a rear view mirror
Bbm            Ab
Reflections of where I've been
    Bbm                   Ab
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
    Gb                        Ab
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway

CHORUS
Gb         Db       Gb               Db
But nothing lasts forever      Your best efforts don't always pay
Gb                  Db
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
Bbm            Gb     Ab   Db
That's when life is short even in its longest days
Bbm            Gb     Ab   Db
That's when life is short even in its longest days
