I originally wrote this in standard tuning before the album (and videos) had come out.
 
It's now been adjusted to be played tuned down one half-step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb).

[Verse]
 
          C#m
Oh I'm a mess right now
        B
Inside out
                E
Searching for a sweet surrender
     A               E
But this is not the end
 
 
  F#m           C#m
I can't work it out
    B
How?
                   E
Going through the motions
A              B
Going through us
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
       A                                  E
And though I've known it for the longest time
            B
And all my hope
          A
All my words are all over written on the signs
        E              B          A
But you're on my road walkin' me home
 A    A     A     A
Home, home, home, home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m                        B
See the flames inside my eyes
            A                         E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
 F#m    C#m                    B
Noo, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
        A                       E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
            F#m        A
And put your faith in my stomach
 
 
[Verse]
 
         C#m
I messed up this time
             B
Late last night
              E
Drinking to suppress devotion
     A                E
With fingers intertwined
 
 
   F#m     C#m
I can't shake this feeling
   B
Now
                         E
We're going through the motions
A              B
Hoping you'd stop
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     A
And though I've only caused you pain
    E                    B
You know with all of my words
               A
With all this beloved
                       E
Although all the lies spoke
      E                B           A
When you're on my road walkin' me home
A     A     A     A
Home, home, home, home
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m                        B
See the flames inside my eyes
            A                         E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
F#m    C#m                    B
No, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
       A                        E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
             F#m       A
And put your faith in my stomach
 
 
[Outro]
 
    C#m   E  B         A     E  B C#m
And for how long I've loved my lover
    C#m   E  B         A     E  B C#m

Now now, for how long, long I've loved my lover

For how long I've loved my lover
