[A]You can take it all
[E7sus4]The gifts you gave
Even rip the pictures off the [E]wall
They're yours now, cause I know you need [A]them

[A]The one thing that I wanted
[E7sus4]Was just to take good care of you
[E]A job I'm underquali[A]fied to do
[A]But you keep asking me
[E7sus4]How long will it be?
[E]And how long, how long has it [A]been?

{section: Chorus}

{section: Verse 2}
Use RIFF 1 to lead into second verse.
[A]So you're selling all your clothes
[E7sus4]Your records and anything of value that you might [E]own
To help you buy a ticket [A]out of here
[A]The one thing that I wanted
[E7sus4]Was just to take good care of [E]you
A job I'm underquali[A]fied to do
[A]But you keep asking me
[E7sus4]How long will it be?
[E]And how long, how long has it [A]been?

[A]How long,[E7sus4] how long

The way it all

ENDING
