A great song from a great band. Hope you enjoy learning this as much as I did figuring it out! ;)

Capo 3

Tuning: Standard E A D G B E

Intro: G D Am C

Verse 1:

G                                                

It's hard for me to comprehend, 

   D            Am

Holding on with broken hands 

                                    C

But who will understand 

G                                      D       Am

Wallow in the acid rain, What's in store for us today 

                                                 C

It's never gonna feel the same 

Am                             C

I'm waiting for an angel now 

Am                     C

To carry me above the clouds 

Chorus:

        G                  D             Am                C   

Cause it's a long way home for the summer 

        G                  D             Am                C   

And it's a long way up without a ladder 

      G         D          Am         

It's a long way home 

    G             D                   Am

And it's a long way down 

Instrumental: (Same as Intro) G D Am C

Verse 2:

G                                     D                                      Am

Swallowing the bitter taste, Trying to find a remedy 

        C

Before the crystal breaks 

G                                      D       Am

Looking at a picture show, Frame by frame you see us grow 

        C

To something you don't know 

Am      C

You're trying to find a reason now 

Am      C

Behind a face, you see a child 

Chorus:

G       D      Am     C

It's a long way home for the summer 

G       D      Am               C

And it's a long way up without a ladder 

G       D      Am

And it's a long way home 

G       D      Am       

And it's a long way down 

(Play Softly) G D Am C

Outro:

Am      C

Life's a picture show 

Am                      C      G

Frame by frame we grow
