                 G
The bows on the table
D/F#                  Em  D
There's blood in the bath
                   G
I think I should stay here
D/F#              Em D
But I think I'll pass
               G
I'm not gonna wait here
D/F#                 Em D
So I wish you would come
                 G
But I'm not so scared now
D/F#                  Em D
That she might be in love

Chorus:
                G            D/F#    Em     D
It's been in a long day for me, my friend
              G               D/F#            Em D
And I don't think I can go through this all again
       G               D/F#        Em             D
'Cause all I need is closer to the end, I don't know
                G            D/F#    Em     D
It's been in a long day for me, my friend

So long you have waited, so long I have burned
So long you've been prayin', for me to return
The future's not clear now, the past is too real
And all I need from you, my love, is somethin'
to feel

Chorus:
It's been a long day for me, my friend
And I don't think I can go through this all again
And the road that leads us home will never end,
I know
It's been a long day for me, my friend

         Am
Oh, no, no
         Bm
Oh, no, no
          Am
We keep changin'
              C             G/B
And we keep changin' as we go
    C                G/B
Forgettin' what we know
   C                G/B
I won't give up on you
  D
Again

Chorus:
It's been a long day for me, my friend
And I don't think I can go through this all again
And the road that leads us home will never end,
I know
It's been a long day for me, my friend

     G       D/F#   Em    D
Oh, no-woah-woah---woah
     G       D/F#   Em    D
Oh, no-woah-woah---woah
          G
I don't know
