              G6      Em7  Am7    D5  
I could cry  salty tears --  
 
G6         G7     Cmaj7       Cmaj7/6 
Where have I been all   these years?  
 
G     G/F# Em7  Cmaj7     Am7 
Lit - tle  wow, tell   me now, 
 
     C        Am       D9   D5   G 
How long has this been go - ing on?  
 
 
 G6         Em7   Am7    D5  
There were chills up my spine,  
 
G6         G7      Cmaj7 Cmaj7/6 
And some thrills I can't define; 
 
G     G/F#  Em7  Cmaj7  Am7 
List - en, sweet, I   repeat,   
 
     C        Am       D9   D5  G 
How long has this been go - ing on?  
 
 
 
(Bridge:) 
 
 
Cmaj7  Fmaj7   Cmaj7    Fmaj7 
Oh, I feel that I could melt;  
 
Cmaj7 Dm7   G7   Cmaj7 
Into heaven I'm hurled.  
 
Em     Em7   Em7     Em6 
I know how Columbus felt  
 
 Am      Am7      D7 
Finding another world.  
 
 
G6       Em7   Am7       D5  
Kiss me once, then once more;  
 
G6      G7     Cmaj7 Cmaj7/6 
What a dunce I was  before.  
 
G   G/F# Em7       Cmaj7   Am7 
What a  break, for heaven's sake,  
 
     C        Am       D9   D5   G 
How long has this been go - ing on?  
 
 
(Repeat Bridge:) 
 
 
G6       Em7       Am7      D5  
Kiss me twice and then once more --  
 
G6           G7          Cmaj7  Cmaj7/6 
That makes thrice, let's make it four.  
 
G   G/F# Em7       C        D7 
What a  break, for heaven's sake,  
 
     C        Am       D9   D5     G 
How long has this been go - ing? 
 
     C       Am       Cdim   D7    G 
How long has this been go - ing.
