 A7sus2  A7sus2] (Riff 1)
   (  sus2)*  add4
 Verse 1: I’ve got one more remaining hour
  C add9 Bb6 no5 A7sus4
  with you in this dusty room. And you know that
   add4
  just like some plastic flowers
  C add9 Bb6 no5 A7sus4
  You just never see them bloom
 Chorus: C
  Oh I, I burned the candle,
   add4(2)
  For you so many times
   add4  (  sus4)
  You know they never burn too slow
  C add9 Bb6 no5 D sus4 G..
  And I’ve still got a long way to go
 Verse 2: I came across a wise man
  Seemed that he might understand
  Promised that he would lighten up my load (Yes he did now).
  I put my money in his hand,
  I thought he was a ticket man
  Sent me off down the road
 Chorus: Oh well I put my trust in
  oh so many a man
  Never tell who’s friend or foe
  And I’ve still got a long way to go
 Bridge: F 6th no5 G
  Time can be so hard (time can be so hard)
   6th no5
  There ain’t no shuffling of the cards that you dealt
  This I know,  now I know.
 Verse 3: I walked through fields of snow
  Feeling warm from the after-glow
  I thought I’d never feel the cold. And you know that
  I saw a star up in the sky,
  I felt that it could be mine
  Instead it was the king of rock n’roll
 Chorus: Yeah, things aren’t always quite
  what they seem, no.
  I’d pay nothing to see the show
  F 6th no5 C add9
  And I’ve still got a long way to go. Oh,oh whoa.
 Verse 4: I’ve still got a long way (still got a long way)
  I’ve still got a long way
  And I’ve still got a long way to go.
