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
