[Verse 1]
Em               G
It's been a long time
    F#m   B       Em
and time changed everything
Am             D7           
Apart-from the blue tattoo along 
Gadd9
your skin-
F#m            B      Em
and your salt tears

[Verse 2]
                 G
It's been a slow year
    F#m           B               
The un-fruitless Rorschach test 
       Em
that I took for you
Am                     D7        
All that I could make out were 
        Gadd9
your Polynesian shoes-
F#m            B
And- your soft tears

[Chorus]
Am       D7
Hey man- where's the money gone
Gadd9             C
I was in the drink- I was swimming 
on-
Continues after the ad
Fadd9               B7           
Startled. By the song the seabird
   E
 sung
Am                D7
And all the years line up, giddy, 
they wait-
Gadd9             C         
they descend the stairs of the 
             Fadd9
cabaret ballet
                 B7              E
And as they skip off make plans on
           Em
 which to renege

[Verse 3]
                 G
It's been a long time
F#m             B               
For you blue I cut my foot forcing 
Em
the shoe
Am                D7          
And the red flame vase I blew for 
Gadd9
you
F#m           B
And your hot tears

[Chorus]
Am       D7
Hey man- where did the fun go
Gadd9               C
I was in the drink- I was diving low
Fadd9          B7       E
Aiming for the bottom of everything!
Am                     D7
And all the pretty years- line up, 
to say
Gadd9             C              
"It was a nice interior onto 
Fadd9
which the wrong light played
B7             E             
Marks deducted- for the unclean 
        E
stage

Em

                 G
It's been a long time
F#m       B       Em
and time changed everything

[Chorus]
Am       D7                Gadd9
Hey man- where's the money gone-
                 C                 
I was in the drink- I was swimming 
Fadd9
on
                 B7             E
Frightened by the song the bitter 
gull sung
Am                 D7
And all the birds line up to say
Gadd9          C         
"It was a bad idea that the 
          Fadd9
romantico guitar played"
B7                              E
But it echoes deep in the cavity
