VERSE1

Am G F
SUN SETS ´CROSS THE OCEAN
Am G F
I´M A THOUSAND MILES FROM ANYWHERE
Am G F
MY POCKETBOOK AND MY HEART BOTH JUST GOT STOLEN
Am G F
AND THE SUN ACT LIKE SHE DON´T EVEN CARE

Am G F
THE WIND BLOWS COLD WHEN YOU REACH THE TOP
Am G F
IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONES FACE IS STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE
Am G F
I GOT A PLASTIC JESUS, A CORDLESS TELEPHONE FOR EVERY CORNER OF MY ROOM
Am G F
GOT EVERYBODY BUT YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO

CHORUS

G F C C/B Am Am/G
BUT I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOOONG
G F C C/B Am Am/G
OOH, IT CAN´T BE LONGER STIIIIIIIIIILL

G F C C/B Am Am/G
I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOOONG
F G
THAT THE END MUST BE DRAWING NEAR

Am G F
I LOOK TO EVERYBODY BUT ME TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS
Am G F
TIL I SAW AN ANGEL IN A BATHROOM WHO SAID SHE SAW NO ONE WORTH SAVING
ANYWHERE
Am G F
AND A BLIND MAN ON THE CORNER SAID IT´S SIMPLE, LIKE FLIPPING A COIN
Am G F
DON´T MATTER WHAT SIDE IT LANDS ON IF IT´S SOMEONE ELSE´S DIME

CHORUS

G F C C/B Am Am/G
BUT I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG

I TAKE A TRIP, I CATCH A TRAIN, I CATCH A PLANE
I GOT A TICKET IN MY HAND, AND THE A FAT MAN TAKES MY MONEY AND LIKE CATTLE WE ALL STAND

BUT WE´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG

OOH, IT CAN´T BE LONGER STIIIIIIIIIIILL

OH I KNOW THE END MUST BE DRAWING NEAR
