[Intro] C G7 C G7 [Verse 1]
          C              C/B            Am
I've been walking in the shadows for so long

                            Dm
That I forgot the sun could shine

                                     G7                         C   G7 C G7
I've turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be mine
[Verse 2]
    C            C/B              Am
Somehow I always shut my eyes and heart

                         F     Em Dm Em
To anything that I might share

F                Em          Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder

    G7                 C    G7 C G7
How long have you been there
[Verse 3]
C               C/B          Am
Every path I've taken I have turned around

                       Dm
And quickly closed the door

                               G7                         C    G7 C G7
It seems as though I knew if I ever stop to feel I’d want more
[Verse 4]
  C             C/B       Am
I kept a steady run so my eyes

                     F     Em Dm Em
Could never focus anywhere

F                Em          Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder

    G7                 C
How long have you been there
[Chorus]
    F
How long have you been standing there

Dm                 G7                  C
Protectin' me from love that shouldn't be

F                              Dm
Knowing all along that I would realize

                        G7
That you were meant for me
[Verse 5]
C               C/B        Am
Now I've got to mend every broken fence

                       Dm
And bridge that I have burned

                                 G7                      C    G7 C G7
And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn
[Verse 6]
    C         C/B                  Am
For now I realize that you've been waiting

                        F   Em Dm Em
Just to teach me how to care

F                Em          Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder

    G7                 C
How long have you been there
[Outro]
F                Em          Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder

    G7                 C    G7 C G7
How long have you been there
