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