Long Year

	  		
 
 
(verse) 
D               D/C# 
I came in off a dead end street 
D/B                 A7 
Walked in slow and took a back row seat 
D            D/C#          D/B         A7 
I knew I had nothing new to say 
D                      D/C#              
So many people looking so burned out  
D/B                    A               G            A 
I couldn't help feeling bad about just having to be there anyway 
 
(verse) 
A friend of a friend from work came in 
I never have known what to make of him 
He'd always seemed to be so insincere to me 
You know I've always been afraid of a 12 step crowd 
They laugh too much and talk too loud 
Like they all know where everyone should be 
 
 
(chorus) 
            D   D/C#   D/B 
It's been a l---o---n---g 
    A        G 
A long long year 
            D  D/C#   D/B 
Its been a l---o---n---g 
    A        G 
A long long year 
        A 
How did I get here 
 
(verse) 
They were talking in a circle I was by myself 
Everyone was telling everyone how they felt 
It felt like so long since I'd been young 
As the circle kept moving its way to the back 
I was wondering what I was going to say in fact 
I still didn't know, as it rolled off my tongue

(verse) 
I didn't say a word all the way to my car 
But a little later on that night at the bar 
I was telling everyone how strange my day had been 
They say brother all you need is another shot 
So I threw one down and said thanks a lot 
As I thought to myself, well here we go again

My mp3 of the song ended too soon, and my CD is at work so the 
end isn't complete.   
 
The D/C# can be a difficult to play.  The pinkie is used to fret 
the C# (4th fret A string) 
 
The song could also be played using a capo at 2, then the chords would be
