[Verse 1]
C Em Am
I've been walking in the shadows for so long
Am Dm Dm Dm Dm
That I forgot the sun can shine
Dm Dm
I've turned away from everyone
G G C G C G
And everything that wanted to be mine
C Em Am
Somehow I always shot my eyes and heart
Am F Em Dm Em
To everything that I could share
F Em Dm
But now I'm standing still and I'm wondering
G C
Just how long have you been there

..there And every...
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
And every path I've taken I have turned around
Dm
And quickly closed the door
Dm G
It seems as though I knew if I ever stop
C G C G
To feel that I want more
C Em Am
I kept a steady run so my eyes
F Em Dm Em
Could never focus anywhere
F Em Dm
But now I'm standing still and I'm wondering
G C
Just how long have you been there
[Chorus]
F
How long have you been standing there
Dm G C
Protecting me from love that shouldn't be?
F Dm
Knowing all alone that I could realize
G
That you were meant for me?
[Verse 3]
C Em Am
Now I've got to mend every broken fence
Dm
And bridge that I have burned
Dm
I've got to clear away the cobwebs
G C G C G
In my heart so I can start to learn
C Em Am
For I realize that you've been waiting
F Em Dm Em
Just to teach me how to care
F Em Dm
Now I'm standing still and I'm wondering
G C
Just how long have you been there
[Outro]
F Em Dm
And now I'm standing still and I'm wondering
G C
Just how long have you been there
G C G C
