(1st Verse)  Well they say nothin' lasts forever, honey I got news.
                                 E
Whoever said that never got the blues from you.
                                      A
This cloud I'm under looks like it's gonna stay, 
     E                            B     E
The thunder's gonna roll forever and a day.


                                                   B
(2nd Verse)  Well nothin's gonna change the way I think and feel.  
                               E
My heart it's so heavy and my fate is sealed.
                             A
Lord stop this misery every night I pray, 
 E                            B     E
Knowin' that it's ever, ever and a day.


               B   E                 B                E
(Chorus)  Forever and a day, you're stuck here in my mind.  
    B    E                   B         E
Forever and a day is such a long long time.

(3rd Verse)  I tell myself again that I just can't swim 
                               E
This river of regret that I'm drownin' in.
                                      A
You left me with this feelin' that I just can't shake.  
    E                           B     E
My spirit's gonna sink forever and a day.


(Chorus)  X2


A          E      B         E 
     It's such a long long time.
