TITLE: The Long Run
Lyrics and Chords


I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of the day
Oh that didn't get it, it was high time I quit it
I just couldn't carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true
Didn't know I was so lonely till I found you

/ C - - - / F - - - / 1st, 2nd / Am - - - / F - - - /

Who can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
In the long run
We can handle some resistance 
If our love is a strong one
Is a strong one

/ C - / - - F - / - - / :

People talkin' about us, they got nothin' else to do
When it all comes down we will still come through 
In the long run
Ooh I want to tell you it's a long run

/ Am - - - / F - - - / C - / F - C - G G7 /

You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby
Couldn't hold a candle to you
Did you do it for love, did you do it for money
Did you do it for spite, did you think you had to, honey

Who is gonna make it
We'll find out in the long run
In the long run
I know we can take it 
If our love is a strong one
Is a strong one

Well we're scared but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent but we ain't breakin' 
In the long run
Ooh I want to tell you it's a long run
