Capo 7

[Intro]

D G (x3)
D A7 D


[Verse 1]

D A7
I been working here, Monday, it'll be a year
D D/F# G
And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
D A7
But I keep on showing up, hell-bent on growing up
G D A7 D
If it takes a lifetime

D A7
I'm learning how to be alone, fall asleep with the TV on
D D/F# G
And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
D A7
I keep my spirits high, find happiness by and by
G D A7 D
If it takes a lifetime


[Chorus]

G D
I got too far from my raisin', I forgot where I come from
D A7
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
D D/F#
Well I thought the highway loved me
G D
But she beat me like a drum
D A7 G D
My day will come, if it takes a lifetime

D G (x3)
D A7 D


[Verse 2]

D A7
I don't keep liquor here, never cared for wine or beer
D D/F# G
And working for the county keeps me pissin' clear
D A7
The nights are dry as dust, but I'm letting my eyes adjust
G D A7 D
If it takes a lifetime


[Chorus]

G D
I got too far from my raisin', I forgot where I come from
D A7
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
D D/F#
Well I thought the highway loved me
G D
But she beat me like a drum
D A7 G D
My day will come, if it takes a lifetime


[Bridge]

Em Bm
Em G Asus4 A7


[Verse 3]

D A7
Man is a product of all the people that he ever loved
D D/E D/F# G
And it don't make a difference how it ended up
D A7
If I loved you once my friend, oh, I can do it all again
G D A7 D
If it takes a lifetime


[Chorus]

G D
We got too far from our raisin' and we fought 'til we went numb
D A7
You were running up a mountain in your own mind
D D/F#
And I thought that I was running to
G D
But I was running from
D A7 G D
Oh, our day will come, if it takes a lifetime
D A7 G
Our day will come, if it takes a lifetime

D G (x3)
D A7 D
