C#                          F#              C#                             F#
Seems like once upon a time ago             I was where I was supposed to be
C#                         F#                            Bbm                 Ab
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#                            Bbm             Ab
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
Bbm                        F#          Ab      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#                       Bbm                Ab
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
Bbm                        F#          Ab      C#
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
        F#                                               Ab
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
Bbm                        F#          Ab      C#
That's when life is short  even in its longest days
Bbm                        F#          Ab      C#
That's when life is short  even in its longest days
