Intro: Bm (7th fret sounds good)
 
Verse 1------------------
 
Bm                  D
Another number for another year,
G                 D
Another blessing disguised by fear
         Bm                       D                     G         D
(Pull off on the e string or hammer on James Taylor style throughout)
How come everything good seems so hard to hear when I'm listening
Bm                    D
And now I'm trying to find myself
G                   D
And all I need is a little help
Bm                         D
But everybody else is busy helping themselves
        G        D
And I'm listening
   G         D
Oh listening
 
Chorus----------------
 
A         A6             Bm
I get the feeling like I can't go on here
G                D
How much longer? How much longer? 
A     A6             Bm
Oh, Believing that I don't belong here.
G               D
How much longer?
       G         D
Tell me. 
 
Verse 2------------------
 
Bm                   D
I walk so far that I can't get near
G                   D
So much talking the point disappears
Bm                             D
So it's only when listening it comes through clear.
          G         D
I've been listening
 Bm                   D
I want so much that I aim too high
G                    D
I test the water and feel the fire
Bm                       D
So its no ones wonder my mouth gets dry
          G         D
I've been listening
   G          D
Oh listening
 
Chorus 2--------------
 
 A              A6             Bm
Still I get the feeling like I can't go on here
G                D
How much longer? How much longer? 
A     A6             Bm
Oh, Believing that I don't belong here.
G               D
How much longer?
       G         D
Tell me
 
 
Bridge----------------
 
 
Em                  F#             Bm         Bm11/A  (Just remove the barring finger)
I was looking for a way to bow out gracefully
   G                         Gm
But when I try to catch some understanding
C9                 Bm
Everybody wants to race with me
 
Chrous 3------------
 
A         A6             Bm
I get the feeling like I can't go on here
G                D
How much longer? How much longer? 
A     A6             Bm
Oh, Believing that I don't belong here.
G               D
How much longer?
        G              D
Tell me how much longer?
G        Bm11  E7
How much longer?

Great chords but I have a correction on the lyrics: I walk so far but I can't get near D A So much talking the point disappears F#m A So it's only what's missing that comes through clear.
