[Intro]
Am    C    G    D
[Verse 1]
AmThere's a swelling in my chest
CAnd I here you slam the door
GAnd I try to catch my breath
DAnd the smoke began to pour
AmWe were angry for so long
CBut we don't pretend to hide
GThe truth that proves to strong to keep it bottled Dup inside
[Chorus]
AmIt's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A lonGg time 
To get it rigAmht
It's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A loGng time 
To get it rightAm  
[Verse 2]
AmWell I smell the neighbors' smoke
CComin' in through my window 
GAnd I'd damn sure have one now 
DBut I quit a year ago
AmAnd I'm staring right straight down
CAt the rust spots in the sink
GBut I'm too pissed off to talk about it 
DToo messed up messed up to think about 
AmThe reasons I should stay 
CAnd the need I feel to go
GBut I know I will remain 
DAnd I do my best to glow
[Chorus]
AmIt's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A lonGg time 
To get it rigAmht
It's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A loGng time 
To get it rightAm  
[Bridge]
AmWell we learned to took for freedom
COnce we were enslaved
GWe can't release our spirits 
DUntil we purge the rage
AmYou ain't got no kind of future 
CYou've just been chewing on the past 
GYou better change you rage cowboy up 
Dand choke your pride down fast
[Chorus]
AmIt's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A lonGg time 
To get it rigAmht
It's a long time 
Really long Ctime 
A loGng time 
To get it rightAm

[Intro]

Am C G D

[Verse 1]

There's a swelling in my chest

And I here you slam the door

And I try to catch my breath

And the smoke began to pour

We were angry for so long

But we don't pretend to hide

G D

The truth that proves to strong to keep it bottled up inside

[Chorus]

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right

[Verse 2]

Well I smell the neighbors' smoke

Comin' in through my window

And I'd damn sure have one now

But I quit a year ago

And I'm staring right straight down

At the rust spots in the sink

But I'm too pissed off to talk about it

Too messed up messed up to think about

The reasons I should stay

And the need I feel to go

But I know I will remain

And I do my best to glow

[Chorus]

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right

[Bridge]

Well we learned to took for freedom

Once we were enslaved

We can't release our spirits

Until we purge the rage

You ain't got no kind of future

You've just been chewing on the past

You better change you rage cowboy up

and choke your pride down fast

[Chorus]

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right

It's a long time

Really long time

A long time

To get it right
