Intro:] C - F7M
Verse:]
C F7M
I dreamt you seduced me just to walk away
C F7M
I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say
C F7M
I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed
C F7M
But then I woke up feeling nauseous, you danced around my head
Chorus:]
FGAm
Tell me
GFGAm
How long, how long have I been down?
GFGAm
How long, how long have I been down?
G (Gadd4)G
How long, how long have I been down, down, down?
Verse:]
C F7M
I dreamt you burned my fingers yes an automatic sting
C F7M
I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing
C F7M
I dreamt you sat, invited me to crawl within your space
C F7M
But then I woke up feeling nauseous, girl you danced around my face
Chorus:]
FGAm
Tell me
GFGAm
How long, how long have you been down?
GFGAm
How long, how long have you been down?

How long, how long have you been down, down, down?

Why can't we work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, we try.

How we try...

Interlude:] C - F7M (x3)
Verse:]
C F7M
I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend
C F7M
I know apologizing won't erase the end

But I learn that moving on, is where I must begin

Because when our colors mixed
F7M
We couldn't fix the way they wouldn't blend
