Standard (EADGBE)

I’ve been trying, God knows how long,

to piece my heart back together.

 Now here I am back in our hometown,

you never answered my letters.

Is your dad still workin’? And how’s your mom?

 We haven’t talked since last December.

I know it’s been some time since I’ve been gone,

but you said you’d wait forever.

I guess forever took too long.

I guess I shouldn’t have left you, hangin’ on.

I guess you couldn’t wait, my leavin was wrong.

I guess forever took too long.

Was I the only one who thought this would last?

If I was wrong then you can tell me.

Now I don’t mean to be living in the past,

I just can’t believe you don’t love me.

How can you stand there and say the love has died,

you know I can still remember,

how you turned from me with tears in your eyes,

and swore you’d love me forever.

I guess forever took too long.

I guess I shouldn’t have left you, hangin’ on.

I guess you couldn’t wait, my leavin was wrong.

I guess forever took too long.
