[D] It's been a long year.
It's been a long year.
I cried like I never cried.
Nothing's [Bm] lost if you know where it is.
But still, goodbye means [A] there's heaven for you there.
But [G] I'm still here.
It's been a [D] long year.
And if [G] time's the only thing that's gonna [D] heal this pain,
[A] then why's God stretching seconds and [Bm] a minute to end [A] the [D] days?
Well, [G] I know you'd have a [D] story and an [Bm] answer for me [A] if you were [G] still here.
But you're not here.
And it's been [D] a long year.
It's been a long drive [G] back to Tennessee.
[D]
[G] And [Bm] I'm talking to you like you're sitting next to me, blinking [A] back an ocean and trying [G] to steer.

But you're not here.
It's been a [D] long year.
I wake [A] up high and say, like I [G] saw your ghost,
time was [A] racing until [G] you let go.
Now it [Em] moves so slow.
[G] And if time's the only thing [D] that's gonna heal this pain,
[A] then why's God stretching seconds and [Bm] a minute to end [A] the days?
[D] Well, I [G] know you'd have a story [Bm] and an answer for [A] me if you were [G] still here.
