Forever (is A Long Time)

	  		
Intro 

D          G         A         
 I spent a long time watering  
    D                 Bm 
A plant made out of plastic 
        E                    A           D 
 And I curse the ground for growing green 
D         G          A           F#              Bm 
I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic 
        E                   A         D 
 And I curse my tongue for being mean 

Primeira Parte 

     Em                     Bm 
 And weightless, breathless restitute 
 Em               Bm 
 Motionless and absolute 
    Em           Bm                E             F# 
 He cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound 
     Em             Bm 
 Now fifty thousand war cadets 
       Em            Bm 
 Would cower at this small brunette 
    Em               Bm 
 To my surprise, not six feet high 
       F# 
 Would reach and grab the moon if I 
        Bm          F# 
 Should ask or just imply 
                          B 
 That I wanted a bit more light 
            G 
 So I could look inside his eyes 
             Gm 
 And get the colors just right 
 D                 G         D  Bb  Gm 
 Just right, just right, just

       Gm                     A7 
 Build love, build God, build provinces 
       Dm 
 Build calluses, break promises 
        Gm             A7                 Dm 
 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it 
           Gm                       A7 
 What am I thinking? What does this mean? 
               Dm         F 
 How could somebody ever love me? 
  G                                   A               
 Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
