first way sounds nicer but playing it the second way is for those who are too lazy
to tune down ;) Enjoy and let me know what you think!
TUNING -
Can be played: 1] Tuned down half a step [D# G# C# F# A# d#] or
2] Standard Tuning on Capo 2

Intro - G C G D Em C G D
G C
Standing in an empty room,
G D
Where the cobwebs dont remember you.
Em C G D
Let me in and I wont bother you again.
G C
You're a memory from a former life,
G D
That outright rufused to fade,
Em C G D
Let me in and I wont bother you again
Bm C D
I'm lonely lonely lonely in a room full of my friends
Em C G C G D Em C
Let me in and I wont bother you again
G C
Counting as the minutes pass
G D
I'm still looking at the looking glass
Em C G D
and how long, how long, how long can I keep this up for
G C
and God forbid if he doesn't exist
G D
oh we'll go on with what we came in with
Em C G D
and how long, how long can I keep this up for
Bm C D
I'm lonely lonely lonely in a house that I have loved in
Em C G
How long, how long, how long can I keep this up for?
D Em
How long can I keep this up for?
C Em C G D Em C G D
How long can I keep this up for?

How long, how long, how long can I keep this up for?

How long can I keep this up for?

How long can I keep this up for?
