Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[Am]re's [C]th[G]is image
of you that I [Am]can't shake
That day we [C]drove out to the [G]ocean
So many things I [Am]wanted to say
But I [C]knew it was all in vain
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Dsus4]
Life doesn't give you [Em]hoops
to jump through
[Dsus4]It gives you tireless roads[Em]
[Dsus4]to cross
[Am]This sadness [Dsus4]came over[Em] me
[Dsus4]So in love, so at a loss[Em]
I've [F]wanted you
[C]So [Csus2]very long[G]

[Verse 3]
I've [G]been feelin' so
in-between thing[Am]s
things
[C]Sad and stuck and [G]alone
Even when I'm as high [Am]as I can get
I can't for[C]get I'm on my [G]own

[Verse 4]
[D]Keep thi[Dsus4]nkin' I can es [Em]cape it
[Dsus4]But there are no red shoes to [Em]tap
[Dsus4]Just endless haulin'[Am]
through [Em]a desert
[Dsus4]And babe, there never was a map[Em]
I've [F]wanted you
[C]So [Csus2]very long[C][G]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][C][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]Ooh
[G]Ooh, ooh

[Verse 6]
All the people I have [Am]grown to love
That I've [C]had to leave behind
[G]Because that was the way
[Am]the road turned
I'm sorry [C]I have let you
down
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Dsus4]
[Am]You caught me in a [Em]moment
[Dsus4]When I was try in' t[Am]o catch
the [Em]wind[Dsus4]
Thought there was some kind of [Em]magic
[Dsus4]But there's just well-executed tricks[Am]
[Em]tricks
I've [F]wanted you
[C]So ver[G]y long

[Verse 8]
[G]This is what time does [Am]to us
We try [C]to fight and never [G]win
There's no plot to fol[Am]low here
Just repeti[C]tion of the same old [G]sin

[Verse 9]
[Dsus4]But I keep thinkin'
that [Em]I've found it
[Dsus4]A way to fill up the em[Am]pty
[Em]parts [Dsus4]of me
If [Am]it's all [Dsus4]tem porar[Em]y
[Dsus4]I guess I'll have[Am] to wait and [Dsus4]see[Em]
But I've [F]wanted you
[C]So very lon[G]g

[Verse 10]
[Em]
[C]Oo [G]h[Em]
Oo[C]h
[G]

[Verse 11]
The woman who lives above [Am]me
I hear her [C]listen to the radio
[G]She loves the old time statio[Am]ns
They sing, [C]"Lover,
don't let me go"
[G]

[Verse 12]
[Dsus4]
And I have been there [Em]be f[Dsus4]ore
In that place of [D]desperate [Em]need[Dsus4]
I'm not [Am]ready to [Em]go back there
[Dsus4]To wait f[D]or someone else to leave[Em]
But I've [F]wanted you
[C]So [Csus2]very long[C][G]

[Verse 13]
So now I'm [G]turnin' all
[Am]my lights down
Don't know [C]where you are tonight
[G]Can feel so close and
then so far [Am]away
Within the [C]blinkin' of an
[G]eye[Dsus4]
I convince [Am]myself I have

[Verse 14]
[Em]answ[Dsus4]ers
But I al[Am]ways call my [Em]bluff[Dsus4]
All I have is my [Em]love to give
[Am]Someday that might be enou[Em]gh

[Verse 15]
But I've [F]wanted you
[C]So ver[G]y long
I've [F]wanted you
[C]For so ver[G]y long

[Verse 16]
[Em]
[C]Oo [G]h[Em]
Oo[C]h[G][Em]
[C]Oo [G]h[Em]
[C]Ooh
