D D/C
Well I came in off a dead end street
D/A D/B
Walked in slow, took a back row seat
D D/C D/A D/B
Well I knew I had nothing new to say
D D/C
So many people looked sober now
D/A D/B
I couldn't help but feel bad about
G G
Just having to be there anyways
D D/C
A friend of a friend from work came in
D/A D/B
I never knew what to think of him
D D/C D/A D/B
He always seemed to be so insincere
D D/C
I've always been afraid of the twelve step crowd
D/A D/B
Cuz they laugh too much and they talk to loud
G G
Like they all know where everyone should be
-Chorus-
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
G G
How did I get here?
D D/C
Well they were talking in a circle I was by myself
D/A D/B
And everyone was telling everyone else how they felt
D D/C D/A D/B
And it felt like so long since I was young
D D/C
The circle kept moving all the way to the back
D/A D/B
And I didn't know what to say, in fact,
G G
I still didn't know as it rolled of my tongue
-Chorus-
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
G G
How did I get here?
D D/C
Well I didn't say a word all the way to the car
D/A D/B
A little later on that night at the bar
D D/C D/A D/B
Well I was telling everyone how bad my life had gone
D D/C
Bartender said all you need is another shot
D/A D/B
So I threw one down and said thanks a lot
G G
As I thought to myself here we go again
-Chorus-
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
D D/C D/A D/B G
It's been a loooooooong, long, long year
G G
How did I get here?
