Verse 1

G C

I’ve been a long time coming

G D

I’ve been a long time gone

G C

I’ve been a long time running

G D

From things I should have faced all along

G C

I’ve been a long time searching

G D

For a place to lay my head

G C

I’ve been a long time learning

G D

That the best things in life are the things that you’ve said

Chorus

G C

And I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

G D

And I wish you were here

G C

But I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

G D

And I wish you were here

Verse 2

G C

I’ve been a long time healing

G D

From the wounds I couldn’t see

G C

I’ve been a long time feeling

G D

Things that weren’t ever there for me

G C

I’ve been a long time thinking

G D

That the world was passing me by

G C

I’ve been a long time drinking

G D

‘Cause it’s easier to forget than to wonder why

Chorus

G C

And I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

And I wish you were here

G C

But I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

G D

And I wish you were here

Bridge

C G D

And the sun still rises in the east

C G

And the birds find a way to sing

And my heart still aches in my chest

G D

But it don’t mean a god damn thing

Chorus

G C

And I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

G D

And I wish you were here

G C

But I’m still fine, most of the time

G D

I still get up and make the day mine

G C

I still love you and I still miss you

G D

And I wish you were here
