This is my version, sounds good on acoustic rather than playing the power chords.
Fool around with the D chord however you feel..it all sounds good.
D(let it ring)     A  
I know it's been a long, long year.
God fGorbid you to listen to me Gnow.
DI may have laid the Apressure on good, but Gsince that day
I'll never ask Dagain.A  G  G  
DIt's funny, it's come right down to Athis.
I have to steal my Gtime cause you won't give it up for Gfree.
DI've been talking to the AMoon all night, but the GStars won't say Gnothing to me.
And though I Dfeel it's easy for a Aman to grow up
Much harder for a man to grow oGut.
DYou may not appear, but I'm Astanding here My GGod.
I'll Gnever ask you.
DWhere Ahave you Gbeen?
You could have told me just.
DWhere Ahave you Gbeen?
Cause if you know me you know.
DI Awon't ask Gwhy.
They always told me you'd be 
Dright Aon my Gtime.
                     DAG
