E           A               B7          E 
It's been a long time since that walk in the rain 
                 C#m              D#   A 
It's been a long time since I felt this way 
          C#m          G#m            C#m       F#7 
It took a long time to get here and a long way around 
  F#m7                 G#m              A            B7   
I still can't give the reasons though, they won't be found 
 
Chorus: 
        C#m G#m    B7                 E  
I was a foooool, I didn't know what I had 
        C#m G#m    B7      E 
I was a foooool to turn my back 
        C#m G#m         C#m       F#7            
I was a foooool, let it rest with that 
F#m7         G#m           A     B7 
That's my defence, I was a fool 
 
There isn't a cause in explainin' why 
There isn't a word that can make it right 
If trouble is sleepin' you just let it lie 
You can't find it in you to take my reply 
 
Chorus 
 
It doesn't make sense to recall the pain 
Livin' with memories can get in the way 
There's a lot that have passed and some that remain 
Countin' the strokes it's easily maintained 
 
Chorus (repeat and fade)
