                 F#
How long will it take me
                           B
To stop feelin' like I'm crazy?
                F#
How long has it been now?
                         B
I think about you every sundown

                       F#
How you doin' with the distance? Ooh, my love
                        B
Your reflection's inconsistent, ooh, my love
                      F#
We'll be lonely until one of us gets too drunk
                                 B
Pretendin' that we're in love tonight, tonight

Chorus:
F#                                 B
How long? How long? How long? How long? (How long?)
How long till you're out of my head?
F#                                 B
How long? How long? How long? How long? (How long?)
How long till you're back in my bed?
F#                                 B
How long? How long? How long? How long?
How long till you're out of my head?
F#                                 B
How long? How long? How long? How long?
How long till you're back in my bed?

F#
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
B
How long till you're out of my head?
F#
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
B
How long till you're back in my bed?

You're makin' it look easy
In the morning when you leave me
But we both know you really need me
Making excuses just to see me

So how you doin' with the distance? Ooh, my love
Your reflection's inconsistent, ooh, my love
We'll be lonely until one of us gets too drunk
Pretendin' that we're in love tonight, tonight

Chorus

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
How long till you're out of my head?
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
How long till you're back in my bed?

To last time, to the next time
We can't let it go
Feels right, but it ain't right
We just can't say no
Last time's like the first time
We can't let it go tonight

Chorus

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
How long till you're out of my head?
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(How long till you're back in my head?)
How long till you're back in my bed?
How long till you're out of my head, my love? Ooh
How long? How long?
