Intro: Bm G D A (x2)


[A]Phone rings, middle of the night

"B[Em]aby, we can make it wo[G]rk this time."

[Bm]There's just one thing I n[G]eed to k[A]now so baby

Won't you tell me

[Bm]How long is this t[G]ime gonna be[D]
'Til you decide that you wa[A]nna be free
[Bm]How long is th[G]is time gonna take[D]
'Til I'm lyin' awake with ano[A]ther heartache
[Bm]How long is t[G]his time gonna be[D][Bm][G][D][A]

[A]You look like an angel, standin' at my door
Just as bea[Em]utiful as every t[G]ime before
[A]You know my heart like the back of your hand
And what I w[Em]ouldn't do to have you l[G]ove me again
[D]But one more fall is a[A]ll I can take
[Bm]So have mercy on [G]me, for Heaven's s[A]ake and

[G]My foolish mind wants you b[A]ack in my bed
But my be[Bm]tter judgement's still sh[G]akin' its head
Baby, you make it so h[A]ard to be strong
[Bm]I want so bad to be[A]lieve this night
Can m[G]ake it all right
Oh, but wh[A]at if I'm wrong so please tell me

[Bm]How long is t[G]his time gonna be[D]
'Til you turn around and w[A]alk out on me

And you leave my life in pie[A]ces again

If you decide forever's nev[A]er gonna work, girl
