It Won’t Be Long (Guitar Tab)
VERSE: E A E B, B A# A E, B E
BRIDGE: F# B E A, A B E
CHORUS: D A E
VERSE ONE:
I threw my notebooks in the fire,
breathed a sigh as they expired,
I never wanted to help put out the flames.
The walls said to me, ‘You’ll never believe
what it’s like to be a first-time buyer.’
VERSE TWO:
So I gave my dog a bone,
a medallion, a mobile phone,
so I could call her when I’m lonely in the night.
The judge, he guilty found her,
and bluebirds flew all around her,
and I have never felt so damn alone.
BRIDGE:
I’ve never wanted to know the secret
of a long and happy life.
I’ve never wanted to go to meetings
to learn to get out of this town alive.
VERSE THREE:
Remember the promise you made me,
if I fell then you’d come to save me,
I’m heading for the ground and you’re not here.
I said you were my moonlight in the early afternoon light,
as the taste of her old nicotine forgave me.
CHORUS:
So say you won’t forget me,
it won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
You wish you’d never met me,
it won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
She’ll always protect me,
it won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
Your empty threats upset me,
it won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
It won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
It won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
It won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
It won’t be long ’til I’m gone.
