BR-549 - Lifetime to prove

(verse 1)

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 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,

(verse 2)

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 when I lost my fight, goin to turn tonight,

Somewhere along the line Ilost my will,

And now I'm sitting here, my life's full of beer,

And I try to pretend it's not real,

(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,

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

(verse 3)

G

These days I barely survive on lot number five,

C

In the mobile acres on the eastside of town,

G

I swore this kind of life I'd never lead,

D

I guess I let too many things get me down,

G

If my papy could see what they done to me,

C

I swear he'd march down there and make it all right,

G D

But he's long since gone and I'm old enough now,

C D

I should be able to fight my own fight,

(chorus)

C

No matter which way you move,

G D

It takes a lifetime to prove to yourself,

Em

I could have been more,

C G D G

I got one foot in the door, I just want one more,

C G D G

I got one foot in the door, I just want one more,
