Intro:
SOL#4    SI7+    FA#    DO#9

SOL#4    SI7+    FA#    DO#9

SOL#4
 And it's been awhile
SI            FA#   DO#9             SOL#4
 Since I could      hold my head up high
                    SI
And it's been awhile
              FA#      DO#9
Since I first saw you
SOL#4                SIadd9
 And it's been awhile
                FA#       DO#9           SOL#4
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
                    SIadd9
And it's been awhile
              FA#       DO#9
Since I could call you

SOL#m     SI              FA#      DO#7
 And everything I can't remember
SOL#m         SI             FA#    DO#7
 As fucked up as it all may seem
SOL#m     SI                FA#      DO#7
 The consequences that are rendered
SOL#m              SI             FA#    DO#7
 I've stretched myself beyond my means

SOL#4                SIadd9
 And it's been awhile
              FA#        DO#9      
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
  SOL#4             SIadd9 
And it's been awhile
            FA#           DO#9
Since I can say I love myself as well
   SOL#4            SIadd9
And it's been awhile
                    FA#
Since I've gone and fucked things up, 
     DO#add9         SOL#4
just like I always do
                    SIadd9
And it's been awhile
               FA#               DO#9
But all that shit seems to disappear 
               SOL#m
when I'm with you

         SI              FA#      DO#7
And everything I can't remember
SOL#m         SI             FA#    DO#7
 As fucked up as it all may seem
SOL#m     SI                FA#      DO#7
 The consequences that are rendered
SOL#m           SI               FA#     DO#7
 I've gone and fucked things up again, again...

FA#   DO#   SOL#m  

                      FA#   DO#   SOL#m
Why must I feel this way?...
                    FA#   DO#   SOL#m
Just make this go away...
                        FA#   DO#   SOL#m
Just one more peaceful day

SOL#4                SIadd9
 And it's been awhile
             FA#   DO#9               SOL#4
Since I could      look at myself straight
                    SIadd9            FA#   DO#9
And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry
SOL#4                SIadd9
 And it's been awhile
                    FA#
Since I've seen the way 
     DO#add9            SOL#4
the candles light your face
                    SIadd9
And it's been awhile
           FA#            DO#              SOL#m
But I can still remember just the way you taste

         SI              FA#      DO#7
And everything I can't remember
SOL#m         SI             FA#     DO#7
 As fucked up as it all may seem to be, 
             SOL#m
I know it's me
         SI               FA#     DO#7
I cannot blame this on my father
SOL#m       SI                FA#   DO#7
 He did the best he could for me

SOL#4                SIadd9
 And it's been awhile
             FA#   DO#9            SOL#4 
Since I could     hold my head up high
                    SIadd9
And it's been awhile
                  FA#7+
Since I said I'm sorry

It's Been Awhile è un brano composto e inciso dagli Staind, contenuto nell'album Break the Cycle pubblicato nel 2001. Terzo lavoro in studio per la rock band del Massachusetts, segna l'apice commerciale della loro carriera riuscendo a trovare il giusto mix tra il loro originario grunge e melodie più orecchiabili. La canzone è la principale artefice di tale risultato: primo singolo estratto, racconta di un uomo che decide di soffermarsi e riflettere sulla sua vita passata in una sorta di resa dei conti.
