G C          C7                F
Baby, baby, been a long, long time,

been a long, long time, been a long, long time,
        F                       C   G7
I was wrong girl, and you were right.

 C           C7                 F
Baby, baby, took a long, long while,
 F                  C     C                  G
took a long, long while, took a long, long while,
       F                   C
but I found out, you were right.

Chorus:
D                          G
Still you have those happy eyes,
F                 G    G7
I will try and a-polo-gize.

still the same old smile, still the same old smile,
       F                           C
I was so wrong girl, and you were right.

Chorus:
D                          G
Still you have those happy eyes, yes, I,

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try and a-polo-gize.

baby, baby, been a long, long time,

it's been such a long lonely time girl,
           C                         G
it's been such a long, a long, long time,
        F                                   A      G7
