So Long

      B*     C#*    D*      E*
E|----7------9------10------12----
B|----7------6-------7-------9----
G|----8------6-------7-------9----
D|----9------6-------7-------9----
A|----9------x-------x-------x----
E|----7------x-------x-------x----

The B* chord in the pre-chorus is 
strummed once as a transition.
It coincides with the "and" of the 
3rd beat in strum pattern 
"Pre-Chorus (last 2 lines)".
I tried to keep the strum patterns 
accurate, but it might not translate
 all that well to acoustic guitar.

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A                              F#m
Sometimes I don't know what to say
C#                           D
So much you're at a loss for words
A                         F#m
Sometimes you tell me I'm alright
C#                    D
I barely think that I concur
    A         F#m             
And all of my friends have lost 
        C#               D
their light like c-c-c-cataracts
A                       F#m
And I believe that if I chase 
something
C#                      D
I'll end up with what I deserve


[Pre-Chorus 1]
        C#m        Bm             
There's many, many things that can
         A
 you can do, yeah
        C#m        Bm             
There's many, many places you 
  A
could see, yeah
           F#m               B*
But you're stuck right here

C#*                      D*      
Waiting for the world to change 
             E*
your point of view


[Chorus]
D                     A      
I've been nothing but notes and 
               C#m      D
strings for so long, so long
D                         A      
I've heard nothing but my gramps 
                 C#m     C#
telling me to go so far, so far
D                         A
Oh, feel it running in my hands and 
my head
        C#              D
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
A                     F#m        
I've seen nothing but growth and 
               C#           D
everybody show love, (so I) show 
love


[Verse 2]
A                                
Sometimes I don't know if you're 
F#m
playing me, playing me
C#                               
You sound rehearsed and when you 
D
talk it's like a play to me
A             F#m
Say something real, don't make that 
face to me
C#                 D
I said I'm in too deep, it's not a 
phase
    A      F#m                     
And all my friends have lost their 
C#         D
light like cigarettes
A                    F#m
I believed that if I make something 
new
           C#               
You'd love me for myself and 
      D
everything I've been through


[Pre-Chorus 2]
              C#m       Bm        
Cause there's many many places you
       A
 could be, yeah
        C#m       Bm              
There's many many faces you could 
A
see, yeah
           F#m               B*
But you're stuck right here
C#*                     D*       
Waiting for my words to change 
            E*
your point of view

So I said


[Chorus]
D                     A      
I've been nothing but notes and 
               C#m      D
strings for so long, so long
D                         A      
I've heard nothing but my gramps 
                 C#m     C#
telling me to go so far, so far
D                         A
Oh, feel it running in my hands and 
my head
        C#              D
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
A                     F#m        
I've seen nothing but growth and 
          C#                D
everybody show love, (so I) show 
love
