It Takes Too Long (to learn to live alone)
Written by Leon Carr and Robert Allen
Originally Sung by Peggy Lee, Popularised by Eydie Gorme
Chords by : Ric Dela Cruz
Intro : Dm G C A7
Dm
I leave the house
G C
I catch the bus and go to work
A7
The way I did before.
Dm
The same routine
G
Most everyday except I guess
C C7
I see my folks much more.
F
A year has passed
Bm
I thought by now that I could make
Em A7
A new life of my own
Dm G
But habits are so hard to break
C A7
I think of you and I still ache
Dm G C A7
It takes too long to learn to live alone.
Dm
It's really bad
G
When Friday comes because I know
C A7
The weekend lies ahead
Dm G
The walks we took the football games
C C7
And when it rained how late we stayed in bed.
F Bm
I've done so much to change the house
Em A7
The attic's full memories I've known
Dm G
And yet when I turn out the light
C A7
I wait for you to say goodnight
Dm G C A7
It takes too long to learn to live alone.
Dm G
I go on dates but when I do
C A7
I always find before the night is through
Dm G
The same old thing behind my smile
C C7
I'm sitting there comparing her/him to you.
F
And in the end it's always you
Bm
I feel it even more when I get home
Em A7
I thought that I was free of you
Dm G
But I was wrong I never knew
C A7 G C
It takes too long to learn to live alone. (Repeat)
