APhone rings, middle of the night
I fuEmmble through the fog to fGind the light
AI here your voice at the end of the line sayin,'
"BEmaby, we can make it woGrk this time."
DIt's not that I don't belAieve that it's so
BmThere's just one thing I nGeed to kAnow so baby
Won't you tell me
BmHow long is this tGime gonna beD  
'Til you deAcide that you wanna be free
BmHow long is Gthis time gonna takDe
'Til I'm lyinA' awake with another heartache
BmHow long is tGhis time gonna beD  Bm  G  D  A  
AYou look like an angel, standin' at my door
Just as beaEmutiful as every tGime before
AYou know my heart like the back of your hand
And what I wEmouldn't do to have you lGove me again
DBut one more fall is aAll I can take
BmSo have mercy on Gme, for Heaven's sAake and
Tell me
