If It Takes A Lifetime Chords

(ver. 2)
Jason Isbell
Capo 2
Intro: G C (x2) G
 
[Verse 1]
         G                        D
I been working here, Monday, it'll be a year
        G            G                        C
And I can't recall a day when I didn't wanna disappear
                 G                        D
But I keep on showing up, hell-bent on growing up
                 C       G
If it takes a lifetime
 
                     G                             D
I'm learning how to be alone, fall asleep with the TV on
        G               G                C
And I fight the urge to live inside my telephone
             G                         D
I keep my spirits high, find happiness by and by
                 C       G
If it takes a lifetime
 
[Chorus]
      C                            G
I got too far from my raisin', I forgot where I come from
          G                              D
And the line between right and wrong was so fine
          G                 G
Well I thought the highway loved me
          C              G
But she beat me like a drum
    G             D             C      G
My day will come, if it takes a lifetime
 
G C (x2) G
 
[Verse 2]
              G                          D
I don't keep liquor here, never cared for wine or beer
       G             G              C
And working for the county keeps me p**sin' clear
                G                               D
The nights are dry as dust, but I'm letting my eyes adjust
                 C       G
If it takes a lifetime
 
[Chorus]
 
[Bridge] Am Em Am C D D
 
[Verse 3]
            G                               D
Man is a product of all the people that he ever loved
     G               G             C
And it don't make a difference how it ended up
                 G                              D
If I loved you once my friend, oh, I can do it all again
                 C       G
If it takes a lifetime
 
        C                                 G
We got too far from our raisin' and we fought 'til we went numb
            G                           D
You were running up a mountain in your own mind
         G                 G
And I thought that I was running to
    C               G
But I was running from
         G             D              C      G
Oh, our day will come, if it takes a lifetime
     G             D               C
Our day will come, if it takes a lifetime 
 
G C (x3) G
