C# F# C# F#
seems like once upon a time ago i was where i was supposed to be
C# F# A#m G#
my vision was true and my heart was too there was no end to what i could dream
C# F# C# F#
i walked like a hero into the setting sun everyone called out my name
C# F# A#m G#
death to me was just a mystery i was too busy raising up cain

chorus
C# F# C# F#
but nothing lasts forever your best efforts don’t always pay
C# F#
sometimes you get sick and don’t get better
A#m F# G# C#
that’s when life is short even in its longest days

C# F# C# F#
so you pretend not to notice that everything has changed
C# F# A#m G#
the way that you look and the friends you had so you keep on acting the same

chorus
C# F# C# F#
but deep down in your soul you know you , you got no flame
C# F#
and who knows then which way to go
A#m F# G# C#
that’s when life is short even in its longest days

bridge
A#m G#
all i got here is a rear view mirror
A#m G#
reflections of where i’ve been
A#m G#
so you tell yourself i’ll be back up on top some day
F# G#
but you know there’s nothing waiting up there for you anyway

chorus
C# F# C# F#
but nothing lasts forever your best efforts don’t always pay
C# F#
sometimes you get sick and don’t get better
A#m F# G# C#
that’s when life is short even in its longest days
A#m F# G# C#
that’s when life is short even in its longest days
