How Long, by Lifehouse
Album: Stanley Climbfall (2002, special edition as bonus song)
Transcribed by Loloy D, http://loloyd.net/, http://loloyd.com/, 2016 April
[Intro]
A DM7 A DM7
[Verse]
  A
Climb on top of all you despise
        DM7
It's a better view from the lies
      A
Two steps behind before I've begun
       DM7
Time stops to tell me all I could have done
[Refrain]
          F#m
And I'll say
     C#            D                A
How long 'til the work will be completed
F#m       C#         D             A
How many times will history repeat it
F#m      C#       DM7   Dm
How long will it take
[Chorus]
     A         DM7
How long, how long
         F#m         C#       DM7DM7
                                 -pause
I wanna go,  will you show me the way
[Verse]
     A                   A/C#
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
    D                 D/F#
To thinking that I ("high") believe
     A               A/C#         D       D/F#
That I can stand to be here on my own
A                               A/C#
There's too many questions that we won't ask
    D              D/F#
In hopes that this too will pass
     A                 A/C#                   D       D/F#
But how far down do we have to go before we know it
[Refrain]
F#m  C#            D                A
How long 'til the work will be completed
F#m      C#          D             A
How many times will history repeat it
F#m      C#       DM7     Dm
How long will it take
[Chorus]
     A         DM7
How long, how long
        F#m           C#           D
I wanna go,  will you show me the way
     A         DM7
How long, how long
    F#m          C#         D
How long will it take, how long....
[Instrumental]
F#m  C#   D   A   F#m  C#   D   A
F#m  C#  D   DM7
Whoahoahoah...
[Chorus]
     A         DM7
How long, how long
         F#m           C#          D
I wanna go,  will you show me the way
Chorus alternative version
     A         DM7
How long, how long
