It’s been a long time since I rock and rolled
  
It’s been a long time since I did the stroll
        D 
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
                                         A 
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from

It’s been a long time, been a long time
        D       A 
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has

It’s been a long time since the book of love
  
I can’t count the tears of a lie with no love

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
  
Making vows that just can’t walk right
D 
Open your arms, open your arms

Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
E 
It’s been a long time, been a long time,
        D       A 
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.
