(1st Verse)  Well they say nothin' lasts forever, honey I got news. 
                                 E 
Whoever said that never got the blues from you. 
                                      A 
This cloud I'm under looks like it's gonna stay,  
     E                            B     E 
The thunder's gonna roll forever and a day. 
 
 
                                                   B 
(2nd Verse)  Well nothin's gonna change the way I think and feel.   
                               E 
My heart it's so heavy and my fate is sealed. 
                             A 
Lord stop this misery every night I pray,  
 E                            B     E 
Knowin' that it's ever, ever and a day. 
 
 
               B   E                 B                E 
(Chorus)  Forever and a day, you're stuck here in my mind.   
    B    E                   B         E 
Forever and a day is such a long long time.

(3rd Verse)  I tell myself again that I just can't swim  
                               E 
This river of regret that I'm drownin' in. 
                                      A 
You left me with this feelin' that I just can't shake.   
    E                           B     E 
My spirit's gonna sink forever and a day. 
 
(Chorus)  X2 
 
 
A          E      B         E  
     It's such a long long time.
