*John Mellencamp Longest Days Lyrics*
  C                          G
Seems like once upon a time ago
C                             G
I was where I was supposed to be
C                         G
My vision was true and my heart was too
           C                     D
There was no end to what I could dream
C                                     G
I walked like a hero into the setting sun
C                      G
Everyone called out my name
C                      G
Death to me was just a mystery
C                         D
I was too busy raising up Cain

C                  G
But nothing lasts forever
C                              G
Your best efforts don't always pay
C
Sometimes you get sick
              G
And don't get better
C
That's when life is short
D                   G
Even in its longest days

C                     G
So you pretend not to notice
C                   G
That everything has changed
C
The way that you look
         G
And the friends you once had
C                         D
So you keep on acting the same
C                     G
But deep down in your soul
              C          G
You know you, you got no flame
C                        G
And who knows then which way to go
C                    D            G
Life is short even in its longest days
C
All I got here
D
Is a rear view mirror
C                         D
Reflections of where I've been
C                                        G
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
C                                                                                           D
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway

C             G
Nothing lasts forever
C                                  G
And your best efforts don't always pay
C
Sometimes you get sick
               G
And you don't get better
                      C
That's when life is short
 d                  G
Even in its longest days
C
Life is short
D                   G
Even in its longest days
