Intro: When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say Well, don't you fret, don't you fear I will give you good cheer Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song If you wait then your plate I will fill As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room You struggle on your way Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry Lick the dust from your eye Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song We will meet in the sweet light of dawn As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress Well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel Life's a long song Life's a long song Life's a long song But the tune ends too soon for us all E|----7-----9---------------------------------| B|----7--------10-----------------------------| G|----7-----9---------------------------------| D|----7---------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| E|----7---------------------------------------| B|----7-----8---------------------------------| G|----7---------------------------------------| D|----7---------9-----------------------------| A|----7-------------10------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| E|----7---------10----------------------------| B|----7---------------------------------------| G|----7---------------------------------------| D|----7---------------------------------------| A|----7-----9---------------------------------| E|----7---------10----------------------------| E|----7---------------------------------------| B|----7-----9---------------------------------| G|----7-----9---------------------------------| D|----7-----9---------------------------------| A|----7---------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------| E|----7---------------------------------------| B|----7-----9--10-----------------------------| G|----7-----9---------------------------------| D|----7-----9---------------------------------| A|----7---------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------|
