TITLE: HOW LONG (ACOUSTIC) 
 
G 
Climb on top of all you despise 
       C				                     
It's a better view from the lies 
G			 C     
Two steps behind before I've begun 
      G		 
Time stops to tell me all I could have done 

          Em 
And I'll say 
     B7            C           G 
how long till the word will be completed 
Em       B7          C         G 	 
how many times will history repeat it 
Em   B7           C  	 
how long will it take 
     G 
how long 
     C 
how long 
          Em      B7     C      G 
I want to go wanna show you the way
 
 
G		 
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived 
    C	 
to thinking that I believe 
G		                 C 
that I can stand to be here on my own 
G		 
there's too many questions that we won't ask 
    C		 
in hopes that this too will pass 
G			                    C				 
but how far down do we have to go before we know it 
 
CHORUS: 
 
Em   B7	            C             G	 
how long till the word will be completed 
Em      B7          C         G 
how many times will history repeat it 
Em   B7          C	 
how long will it take
