How Much Longer

Intro: Eb 

 
Eb                                    Eb 
I stand in the rain waiting for the sun 
                                           Eb 
because I heard a promise that it will come 
           C                              Eb 
though it always feels like it never does 
 

 
                            Eb 
Cold and wet I am used to it, 
                                    Eb 
but I've heard a secret and rumor is 
          C 
that the fire's begun, 
                          Eb 
that the flame's been lit. 
 

 
C    G       D 
Oh kingdom come 
           C 
There's a whisper loose in the universe 
          D                                        C 
That the kingdom of heaven will soon be upon the earth. 
 

 
C    G           D 
How long , how long 
                        C 
How long do we have to wait? 
    G            D 
How long, how long?  


Instrumental: 
Eb 

 
Eb 
I hear hope a forgotten song, 
                                Eb 
and I see right overcoming wrong, 
       C                                   Eb 
but I don't want to wait for it any longer. 
 

 
C     G           D 
Come love, come now! 
C                                         G 
How much longer do I need to live on the edge, 
                      D                 C 
In between, Is there something about to give? 
 

 
C    G           D 
How long , how long 
                         C 
How long do we have to wait? 
     G          D 
How long, how long?

                         C

            D 
How much longer? 
               G 
Do we have to wait? 
 

 
C   G         D              C 
Kingdom come down, bring an end to the darkness, 
                            G 
and end to night, when you emptied the tomb 
     D                    C 
What happened to all the light? 
 

 
     G          D

                         C 
How long do we have to wait? 
    G           D    C     D 
How long, how long? How long?
