A Lifetime To Find

Bb C F Bb



[Verse 1]

F                    C
Oh Death, oh Death, I was just getting dressed

The place is a mess

I was hoping you'd forget
Gm                              Bbm                      F
But I can feel you in my chest, I can feel you in my chest

F
Oh yes, oh yes
C
Death never rests

I can see you've done your best
                               Gm
The problem is just this, it's too late for regrets
Bbm                F
I am here to collect

[Chorus]

Bb                     C
It takes a lifetime to find
  F                           Bb
A life like the life you had in mind
 Bb                   C
It takes a lifetime to find
F                             Bb
A life like the life you had in mind
C             F
Now you'rе mine

[Verse 2]

 F                                               C
Oh Death, I confess, I should havе known what to expect

But you're so hard to accept

Last time I checked
Gm
I was neck and neck
Bbm                F
As healthy as the next

 F                                  C
Oh yes, you were blessed, blessed in the past tense

But it's too late now
                       Gm
To make it make sense, it's too late to pretend
   Bbm                F
This day won't ever end

[Chorus]

 Bb                    C
It takes a lifetime to find
F                            Bb
A life like the life you had in mind
Bb                     C
It takes a lifetime to find
 F                            Bb
A life like the life you had in mind
C                 F
And now you're mine

[Verse 3]

F                                    C
So alright, today's the day and tonight is the night

There's no reason, there's no rhyme, just time to go, goodbye
 Gm                        Bbm                     F
But why can't you try to ease what's on my poor mind?
 F
Oh Jeff, don't obsess
              C
It's the best that I can do

To help you see the light and help the light to see you
 Gm
It's true, there was a truth
        Bbm                     F
That was you and only you ever knew

[Chorus]

 Bb                    C
It takes a lifetime to find
  F                         Bb
The life like the life you had in mind
 Bb                      C
It takes a lifetime to find
  F                     Bb
The life like the life you had in mind

[Outro]

 Bb                     C
It takes a lifetime to find
 F                           Bb
The life like the life you had in mind
C             F
Now you're mine
