Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Tell me 'bout these things you want, and you know, it don't come easy
The hunger just ain't enough
So you hope and you pray that maybe some day love will come along and find you
But it's never quite fast enough
So you run, and you hide away, 'cause you just can't take it another day
Oh baby, you gotta hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time gone
I see something in your eyes, 'cause I know, I've been there too
You can't be the only one to have things happen to you
You want for something you can't say or something you can't even touch
And you can't think of anything in this world you've ever wanted as much
So you run, and you hide away, 'cause you just can't take it another day
Oh baby, you gotta hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time gone
It's gonna be a long time gone
Guitar solo
So you run, and you hide away, 'cause you just can't take it another day
Oh baby, you gotta hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time gone
It's gonna be a long, long, long time gone
Gone away, gone away, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Gone away, gone away, say goodbye, goodbye, running from what you can't find
