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
