Longest Days Chords by John Mellencamp

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