THE LONGER IT GOES

C F C
It used to be my life was fine or so it seemed to me
G C
I went about my moments doing what I learned to be
C F C
Then one day a virus came it put me in my place
G7 C
And I was forced to look at me in a whole lotta brand new ways
Am F
And the longer it goes The More I know
G
That the way I was being’s not the me I believe in
C
And I’m startin’ to see that it’s time to let that go
Am F
And the longer it goes The more I flow
G
In a world that is greener Breathing air that is cleaner
C
There’s a brand new demeanor In the hearts of people I know
Yes, I’m taking time to look at me from the inside to the out
Those Things that I’d been clinging to I’m learning all about
It’s like a system reboot I’m building me anew
I’m tossing out the old and worn I’m waking up renewed
And the longer it goes The More I roll
I like how I’m feeling and I’m happy and I’m healing
And I’m lovin’ this me this me that’s growin’ up
And the longer it goes The more I flow
In a world that is greener Breathing air that is cleaner
There’s a brand new demeanor In the hearts of people I know
Am F
ooo never thought that this could happen
Am F
ooo that I’d find this Me inside
Am F
ooo all the years that I’ve been hidin’
G
I was sent to my room where I had to see
What the way I was livin’ was doin’ to me
Now I’m changing actions changing beliefs
C
There’s a brand new world that’s unfolding in me and you
