Just my take on this tab with corrections from version 1 and 2.. Used the video of
Carlile at Workplay in Birmingham, AL, 9/24/07 for reference.
Capo 7th fret
Brandi Carlile - How These Days Grow Long
Intro:
Verse 1:
I left home a long, long time ago
with a tin can for the road
with a suitcase and some songs
Chasing miles through the nighttime making tracks
with no time for looking back to the place where I belong
Chorus:
How these days grow long, but I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
How I miss you and I just wanna kiss you
and I'm gonna love you until my dying days
How these days grow long
Verse 2
When your sad, you know I wish I could be there
to make your sorrows disappear and set your troubles free
It's not fair for me to be this far from you
but I promise to stay true where ever I might be
Chours:
Times keeps burning on wheels keep on turning sometimes
Feel I'm wasting my days
And how I miss you and I just wanna kiss you
and I'm gonna love you til my dying days
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
Verse 3:
Now I'm lost in a sea of sunken dreams
While the sound of drunken screams
Echoes in the night
But I know all of this will come to past
and I'll be with you at last
forever by your side
Chorus:
(Brandi and the twins usually just sing this(no guitar))::
How these days grow long but I'm on my way back home
It's been hard to be away
and how I miss you and I just wanna kiss you
and I'm gonna love you until my dying days
Time keeps burning on wheels keep on turning sometimes
feel I'm wasting my days
How I miss you and I just wanna kiss you
and I'm gonna love you until my dying days
How these days grow long
Time keeps burning on
How these days grow long
