Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

But nothing lasts forever

Your best efforts don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

 And don't get better

That's when life is short

Even in its longest days

So you pretend not to notice

That everything has changed

The way that you look

 And the friends you once had

So you keep on acting the same

But deep down in your soul

 You know you, you got no flame

And who knows then which way to go

Life is short even in its longest days

All I got here

Is a rear view mirror

Reflections of where I've been

So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day

But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway

Nothing lasts forever

And your best efforts don't always pay

Sometimes you get sick

 And you don't get better

 That's when life is short

 Even in its longest days

Life is short

Even in its longest days
