The Paper Kites – How Long (Guitar)

E                A
[tab]       E           A
For a taker not to take

    E              A
Any more than what he needs to make it work

E                A
How long will it be

           E                A
Till those seeing eyes will see

      E                A
Just enough to try and be a little more

A                    F#
And how long were we wishing

         A                  F#
That the talkers would just listen

        A                              F#
You can hear a further distance in the quiet

    E                A
And how long did the sky

         E               A
Make the dreamers wonder why

     E                  F#  E
Only birds had wings to fly away

E                 A
How long will you sleep

          E                  A
While the sweepers sweet the street

           E                 A       E
And you've never placed your feet anywhere

E                  A
How long till that sound

E                     A
Rings in one too many towns

E                         A           F#
And you throw your canons down on the ground

A                       F#
And how long we've been wishing

        A                       F#
For the things that we're still missing

        A                               F#
But you still can learn a lesson if you try

E                           A
It's been not so long since I

       E                 A
Took a plane across that sky
