(1st Verse)  Well they say nothin' lasts forever, honey I got news. 
                                 E5 
Whoever said that never got the blues from you. 
                                      A5 
This cloud I'm under looks like it's gonna stay,  
     E5                            B5     E5 
The thunder's gonna roll forever and a day. 
 
 
                                                   B5 
(2nd Verse)  Well nothin's gonna change the way I think and feel.   
                               E5 
My heart it's so heavy and my fate is sealed. 
                             A5 
Lord stop this misery every night I pray,  
 E5                            B5     E5 
Knowin' that it's ever, ever and a day.

(Chorus)  Forever and a day, you're stuck here in my mind.   
    B5    E5                   B5         E5 
Forever and a day is such a long long time.

(3rd Verse)  I tell myself again that I just can't swim  
                               E5 
This river of regret that I'm drownin' in. 
                                      A5 
You left me with this feelin' that I just can't shake.   
    E5                           B5     E5 
My spirit's gonna sink forever and a day. 
 
(Chorus)  X2 
 
 
A5          E5      B5         E5  
     It's such a long long time.
