Chords for Justin Wells @ Fort Worth Live - It's Been A Long Time

He's made me a lot of fans around [G] here.
_ _ [E] _
Oh, you're doing a video?
_ I was going to say something sweet.
You do [A] the thing and then I'll say something [G] sweet after you're done doing the video.
You sure?
You _ _ sure? _
I just want to say a special thank you to my friend Jason, who I've been buds with for a while, and my new friend Courtney [G] for having me and [Ab] continuing to put my fat ass in front [G] of a lot of good folks.
I really appreciate it.
_ [Bb] _ [A] It's hard to break ground sometimes and then you've got some famous techies.
Famous techies [G] just means famous.
It's [A] redundant in the music business.
I _ feel [Bb] like if I just could move down [G] here, maybe I too could afford the [Gb] top shelf Cheerios.
[N] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Well, usually right about then I would say some sort of inappropriate [A] thing, but this kid here is a little bit superior.
[Bb] Stay in school, kids.
[A] They're my kids, though, so it's okay.
_ [Bbm] Stay away from your aunt.
_ [A] Stay away from your aunt, too. _ _
[G] _ Take a swing and pass it along. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I don't know what the [Gb] Jack Daniels is.
I'm no [G] connoisseur or anything, but I know which one's [Gb] not Jack Daniels and which one is Jack Daniels.
[Bb] _
_ _ [F] Oh, yeah.
[Gb] _ _ _
Cheers, [A] everybody.
Cheers.
Thanks again.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ I'm going to say something sweet.
I'm from Kentucky.
You know how much hell I [A] get for drinking Jack Daniels living in Kentucky.
[N] That's a Tennessee whiskey, friends.
But I play in all the other states, too, and I don't get any hell anywhere else.
Thank y'all [Am] for requesting this. _
_ Good enough for George Jones, good enough for [D] me. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ Speaking of George Jones, I definitely owe him a royalty for [B] this song that I wrote.
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ It's a love song.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I know I've [C] been gone [G] a while, honey, _ things just might have changed.
_ _ I still got my love for you.
[A] I still _ got [D] this ring.
[A] _ _
[C] For 40 long days and 40 long nights, Lord, I've cried these walk away tears.
I _ [G] _ cursed the miles that put you behind me and [A] finally _ brought me here.
_ _ _ It's been a [C] long _ time, _ _ my love, my friend, _ _ _ _ _ but you're [A] only _ mine [D] _ _ like you've [G] _
always been. _ _ _
Every _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
day and night by [Em] my side _ _ _ _ _ is killing me [C] _
slowly.
_ _ [D] _ It's been a [G] long _ _ _ time. _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] Been a bar full of strangers [D] for another damn [A] dollar.
I've been [E] breaking these hearts every [A] night.
_ _ _ The rain and the wounds _ everyone sees [B] and I couldn't hide if I [E] tried. _
[E] _ _ [A] 40 long days [D] and 40 long nights, [A] Lord, I've tried to find my way home. _ _ _ _
[E] I've been wandering and wandering, never got me leaving.
I want to bring these traveling [A]
bones.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ It's been a long _ [D] _ _ _
time, my love, [A] my friend, _ _ _ _ _ but you're only [E] mine _ _ _ _ _ like you've [A] _ always been. _ _
_ Every _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] day and night by [Gbm] my side _ _ _ is killing [D] me slowly.
_ _ [E] _
_ It's been a [Gbm] long _ time. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I'm heading [A] back home.
_ _ [E] _ _ It's been a long [A] _ time. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _
