how long
blue rodeo
diamond mine

D
i hear you talking everywhere words on the loudspeakers
G C
hanging in the air everywhere
D
and i remember the words you told me too
G
this town’s full of losers trying to get a piece of you
C D
you really think that’s true

chorus

A G D
how long will it take til you open up your eyes
A G
i’ve been gone for years you never even realized
D G A D G A
how l – – o – – n – – G how l – – o – – n – – G

D
in a corner of the world on election day
G
you watched your star shatter then fade away
C D
too many wasted days
D
with your eyes wide open a hand on the wheel
G
you looked back hard trying to remember just how it feels
C D
how does it feel

chorus

Em G D
what does it take to let you know
A
it’s all coming down
Em G
don’t waste my time

A G D A G D G A D G A

D
you used to walk down the street like the chosen one
G
everybody got your blessing now they’re gone
C D
where have they gone
D
did i ever tell you what i thought of what you did for me
G
some things cost too much even when they’re free
C D
even when they’re free

chorus
A G D
how long will it take til you open up your eyes
A G
i’ve been gone for years you never even realized
D G A D G A D G A
how l – – o – – n – – G how l – – o – – n – – G oh how l – – o – – n – – G
