        G      B7       Em    G
For as long as I can remember
             C          F           G
It's been struggle and worry every day
             C         C#dim
It's been a long time coming
 G                                  E
I said it's been such a long time coming
     A                                  D
But good things are going to come my way

I work so hard and I put in all my hours
Just to make myself a few dollars every day
It's been a long time coming
Baby it's been such a long time coming
     D                                G
But good things are going to come my way

D
Never met a girl who'll love me
                           G
I've spent so many lonely nights
A
But then one day girl, you came along
    D
And every little thing is going to be alright

I try so hard to make you feel so happy
I'm going to do every little
thing to make you stay,
to make you stay
Oh, baby, it's been such a long time coming
I never thought it would come,
but it's been such a long time coming

And good things, oh let me tell
you that these good little things
Good things are going to come my way
Oh, baby, yes, good little things
are going to come my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
