Longest Days - John Mellencamp

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
