How long  has this been  goin' on?
  Cm          Bb                Ab                   Bb
How long  has this been  goin' on?

  Cm                              Bb
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
  Cm                          Bb
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,

Then I can't help but have my suspicions
Cm                             Bb
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Cm                          Bb
And you said you was never intending
Cm                       Bb
To break up our singing this way,
Cm                          Bb
But there ain't any use in pretending.
Cm                      Bb                      Bm
It could happen to us any day.
