How Long, by Lifehouse
Album: Stanley Climbfall (2002, special edition as bonus song)

Intro:

A DM7 A DM7


Verse:

 A
Climb on top of all you despise
    DM7
It's a better view from the lies
   A
Two steps behind before I've begun
    DM7
Time stops to tell me all I could have done

Refrain:

     F#m
And I'll say
   C#      D        A
How long 'til the work will be completed
F#m    C#     D       A
How many times will history repeat it
F#m   C#    DM7  Dm
How long will it take


Chorus:

   A     DM7
How long, how long
     F#m      C#     DM7  DM7-pause
I wanna go, will you show me the way


Verse:

   A          A/C#
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
  D         D/F#
To thinking that I ("high") believe
   A        A/C#     D    D/F#
That I can stand to be here on my own


A                A/C#
There's too many questions that we won't ask
  D       D/F#
In hopes that this too will pass
   A         A/C#          D    D/F#
But how far down do we have to go before we know it


Refrain:

F#m C#      D        A
How long 'til the work will be completed
F#m   C#     D       A
How many times will history repeat it
F#m   C#    DM7   Dm
How long will it take


Chorus:

   A     DM7
How long, how long
    F#m      C#      D
I wanna go, will you show me the way
   A     DM7
How long, how long
  F#m     C#     D
How long will it take, how long....


Instrumental:

I wanna go, will you show me the way
