[Verse 1]
I been F#mreachin' out
To someone in their Abig light house
I could Efeel me sinkin' down
Swimmin' against the Bmtide that I devised
I thought I'd F#mlost it all
Thought I'd made my Afinal call
Some may go from Eyoung to old
But I couldn't Bmsee the final seed within with F#myou
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 F#mI couldn't see the beAautiful, I couldn't hear the tEruth
Couldn't feel me, Bmlocked up 'til you came and let me F#mloose
And nothing tasted Asweeter than, this life's so feeling Efree
To finally smell thBme scent of who, who I'm supposed to F#mbe
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#mIt's been a very very long tiAme
But I feEel it now, my awakeBmning
F#mIt's been a mighty mighty lAong time
But I'm hEere without, pain and suBmffering
[Chorus]
I'm feeling your F#mlove
It's coming bAack to me
It's coming bEack to me
It's coming bBmack to me
With the bittF#merness scoffed
And the devil bAack to sleep
I'm coming baEck to me
I'm coming bBmack to me
[Post-Chorus]
F#mIt's been a very very long time
A             E             Bm
[Verse 2]
I'm F#mhere again
Yesterday was Anot my friend
But now I'm not so Einnocent
Standin' Bmagainst the wall, a little taller
F#mMy interior
It don't Afeel infirior
Sometimes we get dEelirious
But I Bmknow my soul is on its road when I'm with F#myou
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 F#mI couldn't see the beAautiful, I couldn't hear the tEruth
Couldn't feel me, Bmlocked up 'til you came and let me F#mloose
And nothing tasted Asweeter than, this life's so feeling Efree

F#mIt's been a very very long Atime
But I feel it Enow, my awakeBmning
