I’ll see you again in the long run
(Chords follow this pattern for the rest of the song)
People they tell me I should be careful
That you’ll worry, and I’m already miles away
But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
And I know
I’ll meet you again in the long run
Em D
But we can’t be lovers
G
‘Cause I’m still afraid
Em D
Of leaving the things I love dearly.
I wander, I roam, I write home to tell you
That I’m sorry,
I won’t leave it this late again.
But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
And I know
I’ll meet you again in the long run
But I can’t be married
You’ll take me away
From everything that I love dearly
And we can’t be lovers
C
You’ll take me away from my home
F
My home
D
My home
But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
