Lifetime To Prove

F
My pockets are empty and my wife has
 sent me
       Bb
to the store for cigarettes and 
bread
          F
I started walkin there, got as far 
as the square
         C
then the 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                        
and with every third drink, it'll 
C
make you think
          Bb                C
that your youth will always last


[Chorus]
          Bb
No matter which way you move
           F                   
it takes a lifetime to prove to 
     C
yourself
                  Dm
I could have been more
      Bb              F     C    
I got one foot in the door, I 
           F
just want one more

[Verse 2]
F
I thought of a time when my future 
was mine

          Bb
It didn't matter what anyone said
          F
I was handsome and strong and when I
 walked along
         C
I stood erect and looked straight 
ahead
         F
but then I lost my fight, "goin to" 
turned to "might"
   Bb
somewhere along the line I lost my 
will
        F                    C
and now I'm sitting here, my life 
full of beer
      Bb                      C
and I try to pretend it's not real

[Chorus]
          Bb
No matter which way you move
           F                   
it takes a lifetime to prove to 
     C
yourself
                  Dm
I could have been more
      Bb              F     C    
I got one foot in the door, I 
           F
just want one more

[Verse 3]
             G
These days I barely survive on lot 
number five
              C
In the mobile acres on the east side
 of town
             G
I swore this kind of life I'd never 
leave
          D
I guess I let too many things get me
 down
      G
if my Pappy could see what they done
 to me
             C
I swear he'd march down there and 
make it alright
         G                       D
but he's long since gone and I'm old
 enough now
            C                   
I should be able to fight my own 
 D
fight


[Chorus]
          C
No matter which way you move
           G                   
it takes a lifetime to prove to 
     D
yourself
                     Em
I've could have been more
      C               G     D    
I got one foot in the door, I 
           Em
just want one more
      C               G     D    
I got one foot in the door, I 
           C D   C  G
just want one more
