C G7 C G7
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
I've been walking in the shadows for so long
Dm
That I forgot the sun could shine
G7 C G7 C G7
I've turned away from everything and everyone that wanted to be mine
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
Somehow I always shut my eyes and heart
F Em Dm Em
To anything that I might share
F Em Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder
G7 C G7 C G7
How long have you been there
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
Every path I've taken I have turned around
Dm
And quickly closed the door
G7 C G7 C G7
It seems as though I knew if I ever stop to feel I’d want more
[Verse 4]
C C/B Am
I kept a steady run so my eyes
F Em Dm Em
Could never focus anywhere
F Em Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder
G7 C
How long have you been there
[Chorus]
F
How long have you been standing there
Dm G7 C
Protectin' me from love that shouldn't be
F Dm
Knowing all along that I would realize
G7
That you were meant for me
[Verse 5]
C C/B Am
Now I've got to mend every broken fence
Dm
And bridge that I have burned
G7 C G7 C G7
And clear away the cobwebs in my heart so I can start to learn
[Verse 6]
C C/B Am
For now I realize that you've been waiting
F Em Dm Em
Just to teach me how to care
F Em Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder
G7 C
How long have you been there
[Outro]
F Em Dm
Now I'm standing still and I wonder
G7 C G7 C G7
How long have you been there
