Staind It's been a while cover version. Enjoy. I have been playing guitar for a while and decided to actually record myself and stick it on you tube, why not? everyone else has.
 Aaron Lewis has an amazing voice and a great guitar player so, no my version is nowhere as good as his own work.

I play this with the capo on the 3rd fret. Then i play Em G D and Asus2 and just leave the high E string open. in the bridge i play D Asus2 Em 3 times.
That's my version so don't know if it's right but it is down a 1/2 a tone so I can hit the notes while singing lol.
I think it would normally be in G#m but I'm not big on theory I just play by ear.

It's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And It's been a while
Since I First saw you
And It's been a while
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that i've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And It's been a while
Since I can say
That I wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I can say
I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
and it's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I'm gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile
Since I could
Look at myself straight
And it's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
Since I've seen the way
the candles light your face
And it's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
To be,
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
