Lifetime To Prove Key BB

	  		(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, 

          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)  
(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,
