Anais Mitchell - How long

^BbHades, my husband, Hades, my light Hades, my dark^Gmness If you had heard how he s^Bbang tonight You'd pity poor O^Gmrpheus! All of his sorrow won't f^Dmit in his c^Dhest It just bu^Gmrns like a fire in the pi^Bbt of his che^Fst And his he^Gmart is a bird on a s^Bbpit in his che^Fst H^Bbow long, how l^Fong, how ^Gmlong?

Ho^Bbw long? Just as long as Hades is King Nothing comes of ^Ebwishing on st^Gmars And no^Bbthing comes of the songs people si^Bbng However sorry they^Gm are Gi^Gmve them a piece and they^Dm'll take it^D all Sh^Gmow them the crack and they'll t^Bbear down the w^Fall Le^Gmnd them an ear and the K^Bbingdom will ^Ffall The ^BbKingdom will ^Ffall for a so^Gmng

W^Bbhat does he care for the logic of k^Fings? The laws of your underwo^Gmrld? I^Bbt is only for love that he sin^Fgs! He sings for the love of a g^Gmirl!

Yo^Gmu and your pity don't fi^Dmt in my b^Ded You just b^Gmurn like a fire in the p^Bbit of my b^Fed And I tu^Gmrn like a bird on a s^Bbpit in my ^Fbed How^Bb long, how lo^Fng, how lo^Gmng?

Ho^Bbw long? Just as long as I am your wi^Cfe It's true the earth must ^Gmdie But then the earth comes back to li^Cfe And the sun just goes on ri^Gmsing

And h^Gmow does the sun even f^Dmit in the ^Dsky? It just bur^Gmns like a fire in the ^Bbpit of the s^Dmky And the ea^Gmrth is a bird on a s^Bbpit in the s^Amky How^Bb long, how l^Dong, how lo^Gmng?
