C#5                          F#5              C#5                             F#5
Seems like once upon a time ago             I was where I was supposed to be
C#5                         F#5                            Bb5                 Ab5
My vision was true and my heart was too     There was no end to what I could dream
C#5                                     F#5   C#5                      F#5
I walked like a hero into the setting sun   Everyone called out my name
C#5                      F#5                            Bb5             Ab5
Death to me was just a mystery              I was too busy raising up Cain

CHORUS
C#5                  F#5              C#5                              F#5
But nothing lasts forever           Your best efforts don't always pay
C#5                                   F#5
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
Bb5                        F#5          Ab5      C#5
That's when life is short  even in its longest days

C#5                     F#5                   C#5                   F#5
So you pretend not to notice                That everything has changed
C#5                            F#5                       Bb5                Ab5
The way that you look and the friends you had   So you keep on acting the same

CHORUS
C#5                     F#5                   C#5                       F#5
But deep down in your soul                  You know you, you got no flame
C#5                        F#5
And who knows then which way to go
Bb5                        F#5          Ab5      C#5
That's when life is short  even in its longest days

BRIDGE
Bb5                 Ab5
All I got here is a rear view mirror
Bb5                       Ab5
Reflections of where I've been
       Bb5                                      Ab5
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
        F#5                                               Ab5
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway

CHORUS
C#5                  F#5              C#5                              F#5
But nothing lasts forever           Your best efforts don't always pay
C#5                                   F#5
Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
Bb5                        F#5          Ab5      C#5
That's when life is short  even in its longest days
Bb5                        F#5          Ab5      C#5
That's when life is short  even in its longest days
