D   A
How long
     E             A
Till you and I can be together
D   A
How long
  G               A
Until we see this through

[Verse]
       A
Do you recall that winter evening
    A
The night that I first said I'm leaving
G
Hoping
G                   A
You would change my mind

[Verse]
  A
I lay my head upon your knees and
          A
Whispered please but inside I was
G
Leaving
                A
I'm the leaving kind

[Bridge]
Bm              G
I could put you off forever
     A              E
This longing has no end

[Chorus]
D   A
How long
     E             A
Till you and I can be together
D   A
How long
  G               A
Until we see this through

[Verse]
    A
And when the burning leaves are falling

I can always hear you calling
G
Fearing
                   A
That we are losing ground

[Verse]
    A
But in our secret hearts we're knowing
    A
Our love is winter and it's snowing
G
Falling
               A
Comfort coming down

[Bridge]
Bm              G
I could put you off forever
     A              E
This longing has no end
Bm          G
Advertising lasts a lifetime
A                E
If not now, then when?

[Chorus]
D   A
How long
     E             A
Till you and I can be together
D   A
How long
  G               A
Until we see this through
D   A
How long
  E                A
Until we know that this is forever

[Chorus]
D   A
How long
G                 A
Till I say I love you
  G               A
Until we see this through

[Instrumental]
A    G

[Bridge]
Am               G
Summer found her in my distance
Em               D
Tells me what to do
Am                G
When the daylight turns to darkness
Em             D
I'll be coming home to you

[Chorus]
D   A
How long
     E             A
Till you and I can be together
D   A
How long
  G              N.C.
Until we see this
D  A
How long
  E                A
Until we know that this is forever
D   A
How long
G                 A
Till I say I love you
  G               A
Until we see this through
    G            A
Can I say I love you
N.C.
We've got to see this through
