| It’s | been a long time since I rock and rolled |
It’s been a long time since I did the stroll
| D |
| Ooh, | let me get back, let me get back |
| A |
| Let me get back, baby, where I come | from |
| E |
| It’s | been a long time, been a long time |
| D | A |
| Been a long | lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely | time, yes, it has |
| A |
| It’s | been a long time since The Book of Love |
I can’t count the tears of a life with no love
| D |
| Carry me back, carry me back, carry me back |
| A |
| Baby, where I come | from, whoa-oh, oh |
| E |
| It’s | been a long time, been a long time |
| D | A |
| Been a long | lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely | time |
| A |
| Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight |
Making vows that just can’t work right
| D |
| Oh yeah, | open your arms, open your arms, open your arms |
| A |
| Baby, let my love come | running in, yeah |
| E |
| It’s | been a long time, been a long time |
| D | A |
| Been a long | lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely | time |
| E |
| It’s | been a long time, been a long time |
| D |
| Been a long | lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time |
