Long Year

	  		D              D/C 
Well I came in off a dead end street 
D/A             D/B 
Walked in slow, took a back row seat 
D           D/C                  D/A     D/B 
Well I knew I had nothing new to say 
D              D/C 
So many people looked sober now 
D/A                 D/B 
I couldn't help but feel bad about 
G                       G 
Just having to be there anyways 

D                    D/C 
A friend of a friend from work came in 
D/A          D/B 
I never knew what to think of him 
D                D/C      D/A          D/B 
He always seemed to be so insincere 

D                       D/C 
I've always been afraid of the twelve step crowd 
D/A                     D/B 
Cuz they laugh too much and they talk to loud 
G                             G 
Like they all know where everyone should be 

 -Chorus- 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
   G             G 
   How did I get here? 

D                                  D/C 
Well they were talking in a circle I was by myself 
D/A                      D/B 
And everyone was telling everyone else how they felt 
D                D/C                 D/A     D/B 
And it felt like so long since I was young 

D                      D/C 
The circle kept moving all the way to the back 
D/A               D/B 
And I didn't know what to say, in fact, 
G                                      G 
I still didn't know as it rolled of my tongue 

 -Chorus- 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
   G             G 
   How did I get here? 

D                        D/C 
Well I didn't say a word all the way to the car 
D/A               D/B 
A little later on that night at the bar 
D                  D/C                          D/A     D/B 
Well I was telling everyone how bad my life had gone  

D              D/C 
Bartender said all you need is another shot 
D/A                 D/B 
So I threw one down and said thanks a lot 
G                                 G 
As I thought to myself here we go again 

 -Chorus- 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
               D D/C D/A    D/B        G 
   It's been a loooooooong, long, long year 
   G             G 
   How did I get here?
