It's Been Awhile

Staind

Standard tuning dropped 1/2  step as follows: Eb,  Ab,  Db,  Gb,  Bb,  Eb 
 
Intro is Am, C, G, D, basically picked listen to the song for rythm 
 
 
Am              C              G      D       Am 
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high 
Am             C              G                   D       Am 
Its been awhile since I first saw you    
Am             C               G           D            Am 
Its been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again 
Am             C              G                 D    Am 
Its been awhile since I could call you 
 
-Chorus 
- 
--2-2---5-5-------7-7---7-7 
--2-2---5-5-5-5---7-7---7-7 
--0-0---3-3-5-5---5-5---5-5 
--------3-3-3-3---5-5---5-5 
 
And every thing I can't remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem 
The consequences that I've rendered 
I stretched myself beyond my means 
 
 
 
Am             C                 G          D                 Am 
Its been awhile since I couldn't say that I wasn't addicted 
Am             C                 G            D                Am 
Its been awhile since I couldn't say I love myself as well as 
Am             C                    G                     D                 Am 
Its been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do 
Am             C             G                 D                            Am 
Its been awhile but all that shit seems to disappear when Im with you 
 
 
Chorus  + bridge? 
 
And everything I cant remember  
As fucked up as it all may seem 
The consequences that ive rendered 
Ive gone and fucked things up again  yea~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
Why must I feel this way~~~~~~~ 
Just make this go away~~~~~~~~ 
Just one more peaceful day~~~~~~~~` 
 
 
 
 
 
Am             C            G  D             Am 
Its been awhile since I could look at myself straight 
Am             C                G            D   Am 
Its been awhile since I said im sorry 
Am             C                    G  D                  Am 
Its been awhile since ive seen the way candles light your face 
Am             C          G              D                Am 
Its been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste 
 
 
Chorus 
 
And everything I cant remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem --    to be I know its me 
I can not blame this on my father 
He did the best he could for me 
 
 
Outro  
 
Am             C        G    D       Am 
Its been awhile since I could hold my head up high 
Am             C                G 
Its been awhile since I said im sorry 
 
 
you can also play the standard Am,C, G, D through the Chorus strumming harder and it sounds ok 
Any questons email me its easier with two guitars but it sounds fine with one
