C
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
F
I used to stay out till the break of day
C
Oh, that didn't get it,
It was high time I quit it
F
I just couldn't carry on that way
Am
Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true
F
Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you
C
You can go the distance
F
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
C
We can handle some resistance
F
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)
Am
People talking about is
they got nothing' else to do
F
When it all comes down we will
still come through
C
In the long run
F C G G7
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run
C
You know I don't understand why you don't
treat yourself better

Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
F
couldn't hold a candle to you
Am
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?

Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
C
Who is going to make it?
F
We'll find out in the long run
(in the long run)
C
I know we can take it

if our love is a strong one

Kinda bent, but we ain't breaking
