[Verse 1]
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
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]
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
 
 
[Bridge]
Em           G                D
What does it take To let you know
                 A
It's all coming down 
Em              G
Don't waste my time
 
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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
