Longest Days chords and lyrics - JOHN MELLENCAMP

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
Seems like once upon [C]a time
ago
[F]I was where I was supposed to be[C]
[F]My vision was true and my
heart [C]was too
There was [Am]no end to what
I could [G]dream
[F]I walked like a hero into the set[C]ting sun
[F]Everyone cal[C]led out my name
[F]Death to me was just a myster[C]y
I was [Am]too busy raising up Cain
[G]

[Verse 2]
[F]But nothing lasts for[C]ever
Your be[F]st efforts don't always [C]pay
[F]Sometimes you get sick
And don't [C]get better
That's when life [Am]is short
[F]Even in its [G]longest days
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
So you pretend not to no[C]tice
[F]Tha[C]t everything has changed
The [F]way that you look
And the friend[C]s you once had
So [Am]you keep on acting [G]the same
[F]But deep down in your sou[C]l
You know [F]you, you got no [C]flame
[F]And who knows then
[C]which way [Am]to go
Life is short [F]even in its [G]longest days
[C][Am]

[Verse 4]
All I got here
Is a rear [G]view mirror
[Am]Reflections of where I've been[G][Am]
So you tell yourself I'll be back up
[G]on top some day
[F]But you know there's nothing waiting
up there for [G]you anyway

[Verse 5]
[F]
Nothing lasts [C]forever
And your be[F]st efforts
don't always [C]pay
[F]Sometimes you get sick
And you don't [C]get better
That's when life is [Am]short
[F]Even in its [G]longest days
[C][F]

[Verse 6]
Life is short
Even in its [G]longest days

[Outro 1]
[C]
