Verse 1:
Am
I've got to tell you I've been racking my brain,
F         G         Am
I have to find a way out.
Am
I've had enough of this continual rain.
F           G        Am
A change is coming no doubt.

Chorus:
            C        G
It's been a too long time,
Gm6/Bb           F#dim
With no peace of mind.
        Dm            F            Am
And I'm ready for the times to get better.
C             G
A long lonely time,
Gm6/Bb           F#dim
With no peace of mind.
        Dm            F            Am
And I'm ready for the times to get better.

Verse 2:
Am
You try to take from me what I cannot give.
F        G         Am
 No happiness can abide.
Am
I have a dream that I’ve been trying to live.
F             G           Am
 It's burning holes in my mind.

Chorus:
            C        G
It's been a too long time,

With no peace of mind.
        Dm            F            Am
And I'm ready for the times to get better.
C             G
A long lonely time,
Gm6/Bb           F#dim
With no peace of mind.
        Dm            F            Am
And I'm ready for the times to get better.
