Verse 1:  I’ve got one more remaining hour
   with you in this dusty room.
     And you know that...
   just like some plastic flowers
             You just never see them bloom

Chorus:             C
   Oh I, I burned the candle,
       Dsus4
   For you so many times
       G                G/F#             Em
   You know they never     burn too slow
            Cadd9              Bb6   A7sus4    G
   And I’ve still got a long way to go

  
Verse 2:  I came across a wise man
   Seemed that he might understand
   Promised that he would lighten up my load (Yes he did now).
   I put my money in his hand,
   I thought he was a ticket man
   Sent me off down the road

Chorus:      Oh well I put my trust in
   oh so many a man
   Never tell who’s friend or foe
   And I’ve still got a long way to go
Bridge:   F6               G
   Time can be so hard (time can be so hard)
 F6                              G
   There ain’t no shuffling of the cards 
            Em
   that you dealt
          A           Dno3
   This I know, now I know. 


Verse 3:  I walked through fields of snow
   Feeling warm from the after-glow
   I thought I’d never feel the cold.  And you know that
   I saw a star up in the sky,
   I felt that it could be mine
   Instead it was the king of rock n’roll

Chorus:   Yeah, things aren’t always quite
   what they seem, no.
   And I’d payed nothing to see the show
                                F6    Cadd9    G
And I’ve still got a long way to go.

Verse 4:  I’ve still got a long way  (still got a long way)
   I’ve still got a long way
   And I’ve still got a long way to go.
             [repeat]
