Seems like once upon a time ago
C/G G
I was where I was supposed to be
C/G G
My vision was true and my heart was too
Em D/F#
There was no end to what I could dream
C/G G
I walked like a hero into the setting sun
C/G G
Everyone called out my name
C/G G
Death to me was just a mystery
Em D/F#
I was too busy raising up Cain
C/G G
But nothing lasts forever
C/G G
Your best efforts don't always pay
C
Sometimes you get sick
G
And don't get better
Em
That's when life is short
C/G D/F# G
Even in its longest days
C/G G
So you pretend not to notice
C/G G
That everything has changed
C
The way that you look
G
And the friends you once had
Em D/F#
So you keep on acting the same
C/G G
But deep down in your soul
C/G G
You know you, you got no flame
C/G G
And who knows then which way to go
Em C/G D/F# G
Life is short even in its longest days
Em
All I got here
D/F#
Is a rear view mirror
Em D/F#
Reflections of where I've been
Em D/F#
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
C/G D7/F#
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway
C/G G
Nothing lasts forever
C/G G
And your best efforts don't always pay
C
Sometimes you get sick
G
And you don't get better
Em
That's when life is short
C/G D/F# G
Even in its longest days
C
Life is short
D/F# G
Even in its longest days
