Long Year

C               C/B
I came in off a dead end street.
Am7                      G7
Walked in slow and took a back row 
seat;
C            C/B            Am7 
I knew I had nothing new to say.
        G7

C                      C/B
So many people looking so burned out
Am7                    G7
I couldn't help feeling bad about 
just
F            G
Having to be there anyway.

A friend of a friend from work came 
in.
I never have known what to make of 
him,
He'd always seemed to be so 
insincere to me.
You know I've always been afraid of 
a 12 step crowd;
They laugh too much and talk too 
loud
Like they all know where everyone 
should be.

How did I get here?

They were talking in a circle, I was
 by myself
Everyone was telling everyone how 
they felt;
It felt like so long since I'd been 
young.
As the circle kept moving its way to
 the back
I was wondering what I was going to 
say.
In fact, I still didn't know
As it rolled off my tongue...

It's been a long,
A long, long year.
It's been a long,
A long, long year.
How did I get here?

(Harmonica solo. Use the chords from
 the verse.)

I didn't say a word all the way to 
my car
But a little later on that night at 
the bar
I was telling everyone how strange 
my day had been.
They said "Brother, all you need is 
another shot"
So I threw one down and said "thanks
 a lot"
As I thought to myself "Well, here 
we go again".

It's been a long,
A long, long year.
It's been a long,
A long, long year.
How did I get here?
