      Long Time Running - Tragically Hip

[Intro]  A  E/G#  F#m  E  D  E

[Verse 1]
A                                F#m
Does your mother tell you things
                    A
Long, long when I'm gone
                   F#m
Who you talking to
                           E
Is she telling you I'm the one
       D
It's a grave mistake
        A  E/G#  F#m  E  D  E
And I'm wide awake

A                     F#m
Drive-in's rained out
                           A
Weatherman wet fingers the sky

He pokes it out
   F#m
He pulls it in
              E
He don't know why
         D            E
It's the same mistake

[Chorus]
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D      E
                It's been a long          time running
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D     E
                It's been a long          time coming
                          A
                It's well worth the wait

F#m
A  F#m

[Verse 2]
A                   F#m
We don't go anywhere

Just on trips
A                       F#m
We haven't seen a thing
                          E
We still don't know where it is
       D            E
It's a safe mistake

[Chorus]
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D      E
                It's been a long          time running
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D     E
                It's been a long          time coming

D                              A
Well, well it's all the same mistake
                   D
Dead to rights and wide awake
                A
I'll drop a caribou
                D
I'll tell on you
                F#m  E  D  E
I'll tell on you

A                           F#m
You got a boat load of nerve
                            A
But I would say you've been told
                          F#m
You work me against my friends
                               E
And you'll get left out in the cold
         D            E
It's the same mistake

[Chorus]
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D      E
                It's been a long          time running
                            A  E/G#  F#m  E    D     E
                It's been a long          time coming
