Verse A
A Em
You set off to follow your dream.
A Em
I didn't think that you'd really go.
A Em
Young, restless, and full of steam.
A Em
You just showed how little I know.
Chorus
E G Fmaj7
It's been a long, long, time.
E G Fmaj7
It's been a long, long, time.
E G Fmaj7
Since I last saw you, why?
E G Fmaj7
Since I last saw you, why?
G6 Fmaj7
Why, oh why?
Verse B
A Em
Dreams often die a slow death.
A Em
Life doles pain to even the best.
A Em
But you know I'm not like the rest.
A Em
No judgment, just come back to the nest.
A Em
No judgment, just come back to the nest.
Chorus
E G Fmaj7
It's been a long, long, time.
E G Fmaj7
It's been a long, long, time.
E G Fmaj7
Since I last saw you, why?
E G Fmaj7
Since I last saw you, why?
G6 Fmaj7
Why, oh why?
Verse C
A Em
The years pass slowly at best.
A Em
Your L.A. life suits you just fine.
A Em
I've moved on, become one of the rest.
A Em
Dreams die hard, just like mine.
Chorus

It's been a long, long, time.

It's been a long, long, time.

Since I last saw you, why?

Why, oh why?
