                 D                D 
It's been a long   year and I'm a little tired 
        Bm                         Bm 
Lived a whole life between 24 and 25 
             A                                       G 
I've been to hell and back but I've never left right here 
            D          D                                         G 
It's been a long year 

 
            D                           D 
It's been a long year I cried like I've never cried 
          Bm                               Bm 
Nothing's lost if you know where it is but still goodbye 
              A                                  G 
Means there's heaven for you there but I'm still   here, 
            D          D                                         G 
it's been a   long year. 

 
       G                                  D 
And if time's the only thing that's gonna heal this pain 
     A                                 Bm            A 
Then why's God stretching seconds into minutes, into days 
       G                                          A 
Well I know you'd have a story and an answer for me if 
               G                   G 
you were still here but you're not here, 
                D            D 
and it's been a   long year 

 
            D                  D 
It's been a long drive back to Tennessee 
        Bm                                 Bm 
And I'm talking to you like you're sitting next to me 
         A                        G 
Blinking back an ocean and trying   to steer 
            D          D                                         G 
It's been a   long year 


       G                                  D 
And if time's the only thing that's gonna heal this pain 
     A                                 Bm            A 
Then why's God stretching seconds into minutes, into days 
       G                              Bm            A 
Well I know you'd have a story and an answer for me if 
               G                   G 
you were still here but you're not here, 
                D            D 
and it's been a   long year 

 
          A              G 
I wake up haunted like I saw your ghost 
         A            G 
Time was racing until you let go 
       Em* 
Now it moves so slow 

 End 
       G                                  D 
And if time's the only thing that's gonna heal this pain 
     A                                 Bm            A 
Then why's God stretching seconds into minutes, into days 
       G                              Bm            A 
Well I know you'd have a story and an answer for me if 
               G                   G 
you were still here but you're not here, 
              G                            D 
No you're not   here, and it's been a long   year 
D           D              D* 
  And I'm a little tired
