G 
Sitting in a cafe at the corner of Broad and Grand 
Em7 
Stirring up old memories and the coffee in my hand 
F 
The waitress stopped and asked me 
C                          G 
Honey do you know what you want 
I had to stop myself from telling her the truth 
       Em7 
What I really need is another chance with you 
F                         C                    G 
But this temper train I'm on just ran away too fast 
       Cadd9 D         G 
It's a long, long, way back to you baby 
       Cadd9 D         G 
It's a long, long, way back 

    G 
The neon clock is humming showing sign of wear 
Em7 
I've lost all sense of time since I've been sitting here 
F 
The waitress asked again 
C                           G 
Is there something else you need 
I need to take the hands off that clock above my head 
Em7 
Reset the time and take back everything I said 
F                  C                          G 
If I could turn ar ound, then I'd erase my tr acks 
           Cadd9 D        G 
But it's a long, long way back, to you baby 
       Cadd9 D        G 
It's a long, long way back 

Em                    D 
It is a lonely road a fool travels down 
  C                                 D 
I guess I oughta know 'cause that's where I'm headed now 
           Cadd9        D         G 
And it's a long, it's a long, way back

I get feeling she's waiting on me to leave 
F                            C                G 
She stopped askin' hours ago if I know what I want

It's a long, long way back
