IT WON’T LAST FOR LONG (Ron Sexsmith)
[Intro]
Bb Ab Eb
[Verse 1]
Bb Eb
Everything in life is passing through it seems
Bb Eb
And what you're feeling now will fade away
Eb7
Like some forgotten dream
Ab
The sun will kiss your eyelids open
Abm
You'll wake to find your heart unbroken
Eb Cm Bb
You may not see it now But just hold on
Ab Eb
Because it won't last for long
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb
Loneliness is moving in as if to stay
Bb Eb
He's made himself at home inside your heart
Eb7
There's nothing left to say
Ab
But soon the light will send him packing
Abm
He'll find the conversation lacking
Eb Cm Bb
You'll wake up one fine day and he'll be gone
Ab Eb
I know it won't last for long
[Bridge]
Cm Gm
Take it from a friend who's been around
Cm
Soon you'll make it to the end I know
Ab Bb Ab Gm Ab Eb
Where new beginnings can be found
[Verse 3]
Bb Eb
