VERSE 1
A
You can take it all
E7sus4
The gifts you gave
E
Even rip the pictures off the wall
A
They're yours now, cause I know you need them
A
The one thing that I wanted
E7sus4
Was just to take good care of you

A job I'm underqualified to do
A
But you keep asking me
E7sus4
How long will it be?
E A
And how long, how long has it been?

How long until I see you again?

A
So you're selling all your clothes
E7sus4 E
Your records and anything of value that you might own

To help you buy a ticket out of here
A
The one thing that I wanted
E7sus4 E
Was just to take good care of you

A job I'm underqualified to do

But you keep asking me
E7sus4
How long will it be?
E A
And how long, how long has it been?
CHORUS

How long until we, til we meet again?
