The Living Tombstone - Its Been So Long Chords

[intro] x4
Bbm  Adim

[verse 1]
Bbm                      Ab
I don't know what I was thinking
 Db               Ebm
Leaving my child behind
     Gb           Adim
Now, I suffer the curse and now,
     Bbm    Ab
I am blind
       Bbm             Ab
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Bb        Ddim     Ebm
Coming to haunt me forever
    Gb
I can't wait for the
 Adim                      Bbm
cliff at the end of the river
Bbm                      Ab
Is this revenge I am seeking
    Db              Ebm
Or seeking someone to avenge me?
     Gb            Adim
Stuck in my own paradox,
              Bbm      Ab
I wanna set myself free
   Bbm             Ab
Maybe, I should chase and find
  Bb7           Ddim  Ebm
Before they'll try to stop it
     Gb            Adim
It won't be long before I'll become a
   Bbm    Ab
puppet

[chorus]
     Bbm      Ab
It's been so long
      Db        Ddim
Since I seen my son
             Ebm
Lost to this monster
       Adim         Bbm      Ab
To the man behind the slaughter
      Bbm           Ab
Since you've been gone
Db                             Ddim
I've been singing this stupid song
            Ebm
So, I could ponder
      Adim            Bbm
The sanity of your mother

[interlude] x2
Bbm  Ab  Db  F7
Bbm  Ab  Db  F7

[verse 2]
Bbm                      Ab
I wish I lived in the present
         Db                Ebm
With the gift of my past mistakes
        Gb
But the future keeps
       Adim                Bbm   Ab
luring in like a pack of snakes
     Bbm              Ab
Your sweet little eyes,
         Bb7          Ddim     Ebm
your little smile is all I remember
      Gb           Adim
Those fuzzy memories
               Bbm
mess with my temper
Bbm                 Ab
Justification is killing
        Db                Ebm
me but killing isn't justified
      Gb            Adim           Bbm Ab
What happened to my son? I'm terrified
   Bbm            Ab
It lingers in my mind
                Bb7      Ddim        Ebm
and the thought keeps on getting on bigger
    Gb               Adim
I'm sorry, my sweet baby,
             Bbm     Ab
I wish I'd been there

[chorus]
     Bbm      Ab
It's been so long
      Db        Ddim
Since I seen my son
             Ebm
Lost to this monster
       Adim                Bbm
To the man behind the slaughter
      Bbm           Ab
Since you've been gone
          Db                    Ddim
I've been singing this stupid song
            Ebm
So, I could ponder
      Adim            Bbm
The sanity of your mother

[outro] x2
Bbm  Ddim  Gb  Gbm  Db
