Long Long Time

            E
It's been a long, long, long, long
D                       E        
Long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E                      
It's been a long, long, long, long,
 D                       E        
 long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time

[Verse 1]
             E                  
When I was a kid, I used to draw 
                 D
airplanes, with stars and bars 
shooting down airplanes,
   E                              D
adorned with hammers and sickles
           E                       
I bought a hundred water guns so I 
                      D
could save the world, saving my 
lunch money
     E                             
 and stealing my father's quarters,
                   D
 dimes, and nickels
E                                 
I discovered religion watching 
      D                            
Luke Skywalker rescue Princess Leia
                  E
 and destroying the Death Star
                   D
by letting go and closing his eyes
      E                          
And I devoured comic books, Greek 
               D
colored mythologies taught me right 
and wrong,
           E                 D
and if you believe, you can fly


[Chorus]
            E
It's been a long, long, long, long
D                       E        
Long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E                      
It's been a long, long, long, long,
 D                       E        
 long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time

E                                 
I remember listening to songs 
   D                               
about trains and feeling the rush 
            E
of wonder at the possibility that 
the world
                  B
 was infinite and accessible all at 
the same time.
E                                 
And then it was songs about 
       D                        
highways and born to be wild and 
                       E
little red corvette and the road 
went on
               B
forever in my mind
             E                
But now it's clogged bumper to 
bumper with stinking SUVs and 
 D
two-story pickup trucks that can 
drive
      E                            
 over anything except the two-story
                       B
 pickup truck right in front of it
              E                    
Not even the highways look the 
                D
same, Starbucks and 711s and 
Walmarts jam the feeder roads.
E                                 
    We don't live around this 
          B
mess, we live under it


[Chorus]
            E
It's been a long, long, long, long
D                       E        
Long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E                      
It's been a long, long, long, long,
 D                       E        
 long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time (Since I felt
 fine)

[Verse 3]
E                         
Now all the songs are about 
                 D                 
gangsters and guns and the TV 
           E
speeds by at 100 deaths an hour and
everyone wants to pull off the crime
            B
 of the century
                      E            
Steal two hundred gazillion 
                        D
dollars, enough to buy myself an 
island and build a real 
honest-to-God
  E                            B
 train on it for no one but me
         E                         
And get away with it. Get away with
                      D
 it. We Americans are freedom-loving
 people
     E                       
and nothing says freedom like 
          B
getting away with it
              E              
We went from Billy the Kid to 
                       D
Richard Nixon, Enron, X-on, O.J. 
Simpson...
            E                      
We used to dream about heroes, but 
                               B
now it's just how to beat the system
E                                 
So where to we go to dream now? Up
         D                   
 on the roof of the projects, 
straining through the city lights to
  E
 see
if they've built golden arches on 
    B
the moon yet?
     E                             
Self-medicated, Half-sedated, 
      D                            
trying our best to stay distracted,
   E                         B
 living life according to the TV set
E                                 
Corporations owning nations, 
   D                        
telling us "don't change the 
     E
station, it's the only safe way to 
win the human
B
race."
  E                                
I wonder how the world sees us, 
                D            
rich beyond compare, powerful 
           E
without equal, a spoiled, drunk,
                     B
15-year-old waving a gun in their 
face


[Chorus]
            E
It's been a long, long, long, long
D                       E        
Long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E                      
It's been a long, long, long, long,
 D                       E        
 long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E
It's been a long, long, long, long
D                       E        
Long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time
            E                      
It's been a long, long, long, long,
 D                       E        
 long, long, long, long, long, 
               B
long, long, long, time (Since I felt
 fine)
