IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

verse: [A9sus4 A] x3 E
pre-chorus: [D E F#m A] x2 D E
chorus: A Bm C#m E

make good on your word or suffer the same
i think you parked down at fairview to sully my name
you can't know the heartache of canadian fame
you think your hand's on the pulse but you're only touching a vein

PRE
& making a scene is my only skill
i'm falling like leaves i'm crawling uphill
when i began this life of crime
i needed your heart & you needed mine
oh it's been...yeah it's been a long time

CH.
(it's been a long time) x3

the arms crossed, the young girl & my autograph
the long talk, it's all verbs & nobody laughs
oh the tide turns & who's on about making a comeback?
no no i'm not all that you need, i'm all that you lack

[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]

[instr. verse & half pre-chorus]

when i began this life of crime
i needed your heart & you needed mine
& it's been...yeah it's been a long time

[chorus] x2
