[Verse 1]
F                Am              Bbmaj7
  Maybe you're a mess but you're   alright
F             Am               Bbmaj7
  Head in the clouds while you look for sunlight
F       Am                     Bbmaj7
  Walk across the grass and yell, "carry chains"
        F        Am          A
But you   do the same things   expect a change


[Chorus]
       Bb                Am
Been a lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time
Bb                Am
Lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time
       Bb       Am        F
Been a lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time

Continues after the ad
Am  Dm  C Am


[Verse 2]
F          Am                   Bbmaj7
  Broke so many strings that you  tied a knot
F              Am                Bbmaj7
  Cut you with nothing, nothing's  all you got
F           Am             Bbmaj7
  Oh you're never going to break your chain
           F              Am          A
'Cause you're looking for blue sky but expect the rain


[Chorus]
       Bb                Am
Been a lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time
Bb                Am
Lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time
       Bb       Am        F
Been a lo-oh-oh-oh-oh-ong time

   Am  Dm  C Am

[Bridge]
Bb                       C          F
  Oh you've been wasting   all your time
Bb                       C       F
  Oh you've been waiting   don't try
Bb                       C          F
  Oh you've been wasting   all your time
Bb                       C       F   G
  Oh you've been waiting   don't try
