Long Year

Well I came in off a dead end street Walked in slow, took a back row seat Well I knew I had nothing new to say So many people looked sober now I couldn't help but feel bad about Just having to be there anyways A friend of a friend from work came in I never knew what to think of him He always seemed to be so insincere I've always been afraid of the twelve step crowd Cuz they laugh too much and they talk to loud Like they all know where everyone should be -Chorus- It's been a loooooooong, long, long year It's been a loooooooong, long, long year How did I get here? Well they were talking in a circle I was by myself And everyone was telling everyone else how they felt And it felt like so long since I was young The circle kept moving all the way to the back And I didn't know what to say, in fact, I still didn't know as it rolled of my tongue -Chorus- It's been a loooooooong, long, long year It's been a loooooooong, long, long year How did I get here? Well I didn't say a word all the way to the car A little later on that night at the bar Well I was telling everyone how bad my life had gone Bartender said all you need is another shot So I threw one down and said thanks a lot As I thought to myself here we go again -Chorus- It's been a loooooooong, long, long year It's been a loooooooong, long, long year How did I get here? NOTE: On chord changes play the bass note once and strum the "D" chord until the next chord.
