  LIFETIME TO PROVE

  BY: BR5-49

  WRITTEN BY:Chuck Mead

  TRANSCRIBED BY: JEFF GARY

   

  F

  MY POCKETS ARE EMPTY THOUGH MY WIFE HAS SENT ME

         Bb

  TO THE STORE FOR SOME CIGARETTES AND BREAD

            F

  I STARTED WALKIN' THERE GOT AS FAR AS THE SQUARE

           C

  THEN THE SMELL OF BEER WENT TO MY HEAD

      F

  THE THING ABOUT BEER, IT CAN MAKE A MAN HEAR

  Bb

  VOICES FROM DAYS LONG SINCE PAST

           F                       C

  AND WITH EVERY THIRD DRINK IT'LL MAKE YOU THINK

            Bb                C

  THAT YOUR YOUTH WILL ALWAYS LAST

   

  

  CHORUS

  

            Bb

  NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU MOVE

             F                        C

  IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO PROVE TO YOURSELF

                    Dm

  I COULD HAVE BEEN MORE

        Bb              F     C               F

  I GOT ONE FOOT IN THE DOOR, I JUST WANT ONE MORE

  

   

  I THOUGHT OF A TIME WHEN MY FUTURE WAS MINE

  IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAID

  I WAS HANDSOME AND STRONG AND WHEN I WALKED ALONG

  I STOOD ERECT AND LOOKED STRAIGHT AHEAD

  BUT THEN I LOST MY FIGHT, "GOING TO" TURNED TO "MIGHT"

  SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE I LOST MY WILL

  AND NOW I'M SITTING HERE, MY LIFE FULL OF BEER

  AND I TRY TO PRETEND IT'S NOT REAL

   

  CHORUS

  

  SOLO (CHORD CHANGE TO G F=G Bb=C C=D) 

  

  THESE DAYS I BARELY SURVIVE ON LOT NUMBER FIVE

  IN THE MOBILE ACRES ON THE EASTSIDE OF TOWN

  I SWORE THIS KIND OF LIFE I'D NEVER LEAD

  I GUESS I LET TOO MANY THINGS GET ME DOWN

  IF MY PAPPY COULD SEE WHAT THEY DONE TO ME

  I SWEAR HE'D MARCH DOWN THERE AND MAKE IT ALL RIGHT

  BUT HE'S LONG SINCE GONE AND I'M OLD ENOUGH NOW

  I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGHT MY OWN FIGHT

   

  CHORUS
