John Butler Trio – Gonna Be A Long Time (Guitar)

      G                      Bm
Well, everybody's lookin' for something they can't find

Em                               A
Walking straight ahead, blindfolded production line

G                    Bm
Only taking time for one type of shoe shine

Em                      A
Don't look left, right, now you got a street fine

G                     Bm
Everybody lookin' for just a little more

Em                             A
Working late nights trying to fight off the day glow

G                            Bm
Waiting for the come around but it is a no show

Em                        A
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo'

C                        D        A
Oh, what's in store, I don't know anymore

C                        D            A
Oh, what's inside 'cause I can't hide from it now more?

C                       D           A
Oh, what you see, well, it's not me anymore

C                       D                  A
Oh, I don't know, well, I don't know, man, anymore

G                  Bm               Em     A
Because I tell you once, I tell you twice, gonna be a long time

G             Bm            Em      A
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you

G          Bm                    Em
Where were you? You weren't listenin'

A                     G               Bm      Em     A
Gonna be a long time, gonna be a long time

      G                   Bm
So now you're face down, face lookin' like a frying pan

Em                               A
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man

      G                 Bm
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong

Em                       A
But you're just a guitar no string, no song

      G               Bm
Feeling free like ya' don't even know it

Em                          A
Man, you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it

      G                      Bm
Man, ya' stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game

Em                               A                    G
So much potential, it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame

 Bm                        Em                 A
Here we go again, same old shit, just another name

G                      Bm
Looking at the destiny there in your palm

     Em                    A
But now you got your strings but you got no song

      G               Bm
So sing, sing, sing, shake it like a chicken wing

Em                                A
It's not what you get, it's about what you bring, bring, bring

      G               Bm
So bring it, bring it to the table

Em                                     A
Not because you have to, 'cause you're willing and you're able

C                        D        A
Oh, what's in store, I don't know anymore

C                        D            A
Oh, what's inside 'cause I can't hide from it now more?

C                       D           A
Oh, what you see, well, it's not me anymore

C                       D                  A
Oh, I don't know, well, I don't know, man, anymore

G                  Bm               Em     A
Because I tell you once, I tell you twice, gonna be a long time

G             Bm            Em      A
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you

G          Bm                    Em
Where were you? You weren't listenin'

A                     G               Bm      Em     A
Gonna be a long time, gonna be a long time
