Forever Took Too Long

​I’ve been trying, God knows how long,
​ Dm Bb
​to piece my heart back together.
​ F C
​Now here I am back in our hometown,
​ Dm Bb
​you never answered my letters.
​ A Bb C
​Is your dad still workin’? And how’s your mom?
​ F C Bb
​We haven’t talked since last December.
​ A Bb C
​I know it’s been some time since I’ve been gone,
​ Bb C
​but you said you’d wait forever.
​ F C Bb
​I guess forever took too long.
​ F C D Bb
​I guess I shouldn’t have left you, hangin’ on.
​ F C D Bb
​I guess you couldn’t wait, my leavin was wrong.
​ A Bb C F
​I guess forever took too long.
​Was I the only one who thought this would last?
​If I was wrong then you can tell me.
​Now I don’t mean to be living in the past,
​I just can’t believe you don’t love me.
​How can you stand there and say the love has died,
​you know I can still remember,
​how you turned from me with tears in your eyes,
​and swore you’d love me forever.
​I guess forever took too long.
​I guess I shouldn’t have left you, hangin’ on.
​I guess you couldn’t wait, my leavin was wrong.
​I guess forever took too long.
