She peeled from a stretch black snake which slipped up from the hotel door. Darting looks from piercing eyes - The stir of memory and then no more. Well, you know how I have to believe - She can almost remember my name. (Chorus) It's been a long time coming, babe - Long time loose amongst foreign hills - Shaking my faith in this free will. Years ago in a coastal town, mosquitoes buzzed in her hair. Schooldress torn and bare feet brown - Then the rains came and she wasn't there. You're closing your doors on me when you had almost remembered my name. It's been a long time coming, babe - Long time loose amongst foreign hills - Shaking my faith in this free will. Sharp points in an ink-black sky - Faint words collide, then are lost. I'll follow you beneath this dome - Win you back at any cost. I know we were children then, but you can almost remember me name. It's been a long time coming, babe - Long time loss amongst foreign hills - Well, let's be children, still - Don't shake my faith in this free will. Don't shake my faith in this free will. With those lyrics I have just wasted all your printer ink. Sorry, but I had to put them on this. I think the lyric's starting progression is E--F#m and that's all I can figure out. So if you know the rest of the chords, please tell me.
