Long Time (song)

Updated: Apr 5




(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 and  Play Eb in the pre-chorus)


(Verse 1 – Smooth, rolling intro, groove)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

Drove slow into jungle town

Rusted ride, dreams inbound

Jenny holds the wheel tight

Jimmy hums, We’re here to fight


(Pre-Chorus – Rhythmic and punchy)

(Roughly: Cm - Eb - Cm - Eb)

Don’t stall be someone else’s sorry, We’ll be fine…

When it comes to drink the rest of the story, We’ll be fine, Feel right 

Riff


(Chorus – Bold, driving, anthemic)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

It’s gonna take a long

Broken, bent, hearts are so strong

She’s been runnin’, He’s been gone

Jimmy’s stayin’, can't go wrong


(Verse 2 – grit, bluesy push forward)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

Took a shot, stayed a long time

Fiery chest, burns his spine

Neon buzz, jukebox wine

Jenny says, “I’ll make you mine”


(Pre-Chorus – Snappier, sharper bite)

(Roughly: Cm - Eb - Cm - Eb)

Time won’t wait if you ignore it, time to fly…

Steppin’ back into the story, Say goodbye, Goodbye

Riff


(Chorus – Link and anthem repeat, soaring emotion)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

It’s gonna take a long time

Broken, bent, hearts are so strong

She’s been runnin’, He’s been gone

Jimmy’s stayin’, can't go wrong


(Verse 3 – Slow-build, Mayer Hawthorne-meets-Goo Goo Dolls reflection)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

Jenny’s road, a long run

Stars don’t fall in straight lines

Love ain't fast, love ain't blind

But Jimmy swears, “We’ll be just fine”


(Bridge – breakdown, dreamy and raw)

Thunder kiss into lightning be all mine, all mine…

Lost in love, lost in the glory, Don’t let go, tonight…

Riff


(Chorus – Final push, strong and resolute)

(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

It’s gonna take a long time

Broken, bent, hearts are so strong

She’s been runnin’, He’s been gone

Jimmy’s stayin’, can't go wrong


(Outro – Gentle, warm fade-out, soulful)(Roughly: Cm - Fm7 - Cm - Fm7)

Time ain’t gonna break us down

Jimmy grins, hands in his coat

Jenny sways, sings one last note

They are spinnin’, night rolls on


(Roughly: Cm - Eb - Cm - Eb)

On and on, Where we did we go wrong

On and on, Where we belong


RIFF:
