[Verse 1]
C
They say you ain't been the same
F C
Since you laid that bottle down
F C
The songs they ain't got no soul
G
The band's done lost its sound
C
Get your head out of the clouds, boy
F C
Pretty soon you’ll realize that
F C
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do
AM C
For a dream is let it die
[Chorus]
F C
I'm in it for the long haul
F C
I'm here until the work's done
F C
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
G
That's gonna cut and run
F C
So I'll pick myself up
G Am
Every time I fall
F C F C
Buddy, I'm in it for the long haul
F/C
[Verse 2]
C
See the hardest part
F C
Of getting sober
F C
Is learning a drinking buddy
G
Ain't the same thing as a friend
C
Just like the hardest part
F C
Of starting over
F C
Is admitting to yourself
Am C
That something has come to an end
[Chorus]
F C
I'm in it for the long haul
F C
I'm here until the work's done
F C
I ain't ever been the kind of guy
G
That's gonna cut and run
F C
So I'll pick myself up
G Am
Every time I fall
F C F C
Baby, I'm in it for the long haul
F/C
[Verse 3]
C
I am solid as a Redwood
F C
She's standing by my side
F C
Got the patience of a sunset
G
Her last nerves are my why
C
So, last Sunday after supper
F C
I ask her why she stays
F C
She said I ain't gonna be just another song
Am C
About walking away
[Chorus]
F C
Because, I'm in it for the long haul
F C
I'm here until the works done
F C
I ain't ever been the kind of gal
G
That's gonna cut and run
F C
So we'll pick ourselves up
G Am
Every time we fall
F C F C
Honey, I'm in it for the long haul
F C F C
Yes I'm in it for the long haul
