[Intro]

E A
[Verse 1]
A D A
They called me the idiot, my hands were on fire
A E
Blood flowed from my fingers every time I pressed the wires
A D A
Exiled to the attic, out of harm's way
A E A
I hit that bow and arrow till I hit the hay
[Verse 2]
A D A
I got a suitcase full of energy, I'm following the wind
A E
Old enough to know better young enough to join in
A D A
Lived opposite a graveyard, you could hear the hookers cry
A E A
"You never paid me last week, so you ain't gettin' nothin' tonight!"
[Chorus]
A D A
It's been a long time. It's been a long time
A E
Hangin' out in Lynn's Cafe 1959
A A7 D A
We ran the streets together and we never had a dime
A E A
It's been a long time, it's been a long, long, long, long time
[Verse 3]
A D A
Still life never moved me or the friends that I chose
A E
They was always up to something, as the saying goes
A D A
The road to good intentions was starting to fray
A E A
And then I met a lunatic who showed me the way
[Chorus]
A D A
It's been a long time. It's been a long time
A E
Well 'no' is not an option when your ass is on the line
A A7 D A
I didn't need no lawyer, I was desperate to sign
A E A
It's been a long time, it's been a long, long, long, long time
[Instrumental]
A D A
A E
A A7 D A
A E A
[Verse 4]
A D A
Be careful what you wish for, dreams can come true
A E
I was used to failure, and this was something new
A D A
We tripped the light fandango till we ran out of steam
A E A
And then one by one we fell off the end of a dream
[Chorus]
A D A
It's been a long time, it's been a long time
A E
You take a chance on destiny, you never know what you'll find
A A7 D A
Fortune and misfortune are forever entwined
A E A
It's been a long time, it's been a long, long, long, long time
[Chorus]
A A A
It's been a long time. It's been a long time
A E
You've been going your way, and I've been going mine
A A7 D A
I wasn't born in the U.S.A. but I'm that way inclined
A E A Asus4 A
It's been a long time. It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time
[Outro]
A A7 D A
So if you're ever in the vicinity, drop me a line
A E N.C.
It's been a long time. It's been a long,, long, long, long...
