i think is the last song that still needed to be tabbed so here we go. there are some parts that don't sound quite right, so if anyone wanted to look it over that would be much appreciated. the beginning of the third verse seems off somehow, but i can't figure out the chords. maybe jakeopolis could see what needed work since he wrote he had already learned the album. have fun!

It's A Long Life to Always be Longing

[Long instrumental prelude]
C#m B
You said I'm wise, but I'm not so sure
C#m B
Maybe my lies were just that good.
F#m B E C#m
And my lonely tears wish never to be
C#m B E C#m
puddled on the floor with just them and me

C#m B E
It's a long life, a long life
C#m B
To be always longing
C#m B E
It's a long life, long life
C#m B
To always be longing.

There's truth in these eyes, you can rest assured
salvaged by voices that have no words
Running with fear
Left ruin in its wake
Is the measure of a man how much love he can fake

It's a long life, a long life
To be always longing
It's a long life, long life
To always be longing.
It's a long life, a long life
To be always longing
It's a long life, long life
To always be longing.

C#m B
Oh, the time it's just so hard
C#m B
With all your fears and your running around
F#m C#m
We sadly burned down what we had,
B
It happened so long...?

It's a long life, a long life
To be always longing
It's a long life, long life
To always be longing.
It's a long life, a long life
To be always longing
It's a long life, long life
To always be longing.
Oooh.... Ahaaah....




hey circus,

good looking tab! just a few small corrections, since you asked.

intro:
the harmony here is implied, basically like Cm, A (repeated), then something like B G#7 A G#7
try this:

something like:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|---2-2-4-4---2-1---1---|
D|-----------------2-2---|
A|---4---------0---------|
E|-----------------------|

this is not what he plays, but it works
e|---------------------|
B|----------------4----|
G|--4----5---6----5----|
D|--4----4---x----4----|
A|--2----6---4----x----|
E|-----------5----4----|


each verse line starts with E, which you left out.
so E Cm B
then, "my lonely tears..." third line of verse is
F#m B E A (not Cm)
Cm B E A (again, not Cm)

chorus is basically the same, just missing a chord:
Cm B E A B
it's a long life, a long life to be always longing

the bridge that you were having trouble with modulates to D major, goes like this: (i copied your lyrics)

D A
Oh, the time it's just so hard
E B
With all your fears and your running around
D A
We sadly burned down what we had,
B
It happened so long...?

hope that helps!
