This song is fast paced and it's fun to play and sing, I would suggest putting a capo on 
your comfortable I know I can't sing this one without it!
I dEmidn't ask for tChis
I couldn't ask for tGhat
I wouldn't ask for Dany change in plans
AEmm I ever rightC?
When you're such a bGrat
I feel much bDetter in your hands
TEmry to take your woCrd
I want to take you dGown
You never cauDght me lying
IEm'm trying not to shCout
Wanna work it oGut
I've been so loDng denying
Chorus:
I'm a lCong time gonDe
KeeEmping your secrets for too lDong
Baby yCou ain't half of Dwhat you used to bEmeD  
In this dCim October skDy
I've Emgot no more tears left to Dcry
And CI'm finally learning
That Dyou can't be too stEmrong
I'm a long time Dgone
Verse: same as verse 1
When you understand
There's no one truth
And we're three-thousand miles apart
Try and act your age
And you're a flaming youth
You seek the end
But never start
If I'm a man
Do I have the strengh
To change what I'm becoming
I've been such a fool
Didn't want to lose
It's been a long time coming
I'm a long time gone
Keeping your secrets for too long
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be
In this dim October sky
I've got no more tears left to cry
And I'm finally learning
That you can't be too strong
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
Keeping your secrets for too long
Baby you ain't half of what you used to be
In this dim October sky
I've got no more tears left to cry
And I'm finally learning
That you can't be too strong
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
I'm a long time gone
