Tom: D
A
Phone rings, middle of the night
Em G
I fumble through the fog to find the light
A
I here your voice at the end of the line sayin,'
Em G
"Baby, we can make it work this time."
D A
It's not that I don't believe that it's so
Bm G A
There's just one thing I need to know so baby
Won't you tell me
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be
A
'Til you decide that you wanna be free
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna take
A
'Til I'm lyin' awake with another heartache
Bm G D Bm G D A
How long is this time gonna be
A
You look like an angel, standin' at my door
Em G
Just as beautiful as every time before
A
You know my heart like the back of your hand
Em G
And what I wouldn't do to have you love me again
D A
But one more fall is all I can take
Bm G A
So have mercy on me, for Heaven's sake and
Tell me
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be
A
'Til you decide to fly away from me
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna last
A
'Til someone new puts me back in your past
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be
G A
My foolish mind wants you back in my bed
Bm G
But my better judgement's still shakin' its head
A
Baby, you make it so hard to be strong
Bm A
I want so bad to believe this night
G
Can make it all right
A
Oh, but what if I'm wrong so please tell me
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be
A
'Til you turn around and walk out on me
Bm G D
How long 'til this time has to end
A
And you leave my life in pieces again
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna hurt
A
If you decide forever's never gonna work, girl
Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be baby tell me
Bm G D A Bm G D
How long is this time gonna be
D A
I know I shouldn't but I will
Bm
I can't hide the way I feel
G D A
Tell me this time that it's real
Bm G D A
How lo------ng
