Lifes Too Short No Matter How Long It Lasts Cifras

[Intro]
C    G
 
 
[Verse 1]
    C                                 F           C
Big brother had a treehouse club when he was only ten
  C                               G
I didn't know the secret code, so they wouldn't let me in
     Am            F                      C                  F
They told me I was much too young for the kind of games they played
    C                            G                      C
I remember, I would sit and cry, wishin' I was twice my age
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C                               F           C
My grandpa was the only one with a sympathetic ear
C                               G
Patiently, he'd comfort me when I was close to tears
    Am                  F               C                F
And I'd say gramps, why does it take so long for time to pass
    C                                    G                  C
And he'd say, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts
 
 
[Chorus]
    F                              C                  F
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
C                   G                  C       C#
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Db                                     Gb                 Db
At twenty-one, they called me home, cause Grandpa's time was near
   Db                           Ab
We gathered 'round his bedside,   fighting back the tears
        Bbm               Gb               Db                   Gb
I said, Grandpa, we can't let you go, even though you're ninety-three
             Db                Ab             Db
He said, I'd love to stay, but it ain't up to me
 
 
[Chorus]
    Gb                              Db                    Gb
And then, we heard him whisper in a voice that was fading fast
Db                  Ab                 Db     Ab
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
 
 
[Verse 4]
  Db                              Gb               Db
Today my little grandson came and climbed up on my knee
         Db                           Ab
He said, why can't I be all grown up,    instead of only three
    Bbm               Gb                Db                Gb
And then, those old familiar words came tumbling from the past
     Db                                 Ab                 Db
And, I said, sport, life's too short no matter how long it lasts
 
 
[Chorus]
    Gb                             Db                 Gb
Too soon you'll see how suddenly tomorrow becomes the past
Db                  Ab                 Bbm  Ab  Gb
Life's too short no matter how long it lasts
 
 
[Outro]
       Db                 Ab                 Db     Ab   Db
Life's much too short, no matter how long it lasts
