[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
