What we want, we got
[D] What [A] we want, we [F#m] got
[A] What we want, we [D] got
[A] What we want, [E] we got
We
[A] lived in a [D] time in a world of our [A] own
Making up the [F#m] rules as we went [A] along
Just one coast between [D] us and we never felt cold
We were never gonna [E] get old
[A] When the sun came [D] up and rolling down
[A] Down the club and [F#m] listening to the blues all night
[A] Girls out on the corner [D] got lonely and now we live
We'd never be that [E] free again
It's [A] been a long time [D] since we lived together
[A] It's been a long time since [F#m] we cried
[A] Raise a glass [D] to the comrades we've lost
[A] My friend, [E] it's been a long, long time
[A] Working took enough [D] to pay the rent
[A] Money got made, [F#m] baby, but money got [A] spent
Even when we had [D] nothing left to do
Under the boardwalk and up [E] on the roof
[A] We never quite fit, [D] baby, we never made the [A] case
Came out of the glory [F#m] like a runner from the [A] stage
But for us, [D] our dreams are better made
Ain't it funny how some [E] things don't change?
[A] It's been a long time [D] since we lived together
[A] It's been a long time since [F#m] we cried
[A] Raise a glass [D] to the comrades we've lost
[A] My friend, [E] it's been a long, long time

It's been a long, [A] long time

[A] Come on, [F#m] come on, raise a glass, [A] my friend
[D] I've been waiting for so long, [A] so long, [E] so long
I've [A] been [E] waiting for so [A] long
