Chords

[Intro] G Bm C D G Bm C D [Verse 1]
                  G
I've come a long way

Bm               C  D
I was a show on ice

               Em
Dazzling and brittle

      G             C#dim C D
But subject to the sun

              G
And then one day

Bm                  C  D
I went little by little

             Em
Back to the water

    G                     C#dim C D
The place where I'd come from
[Pre-chorus]
            Am
And I went under

      Bm               C   D
Like stones tied in a sack

             Am
And I got emptied

      Bm            C   D
And started my way back
[Chorus]
    G
My name (It's got your name on it)

     D
My shame (It's got your name on it)

     G
My home (It's got your name on it)

             G  C
Everything I own

             G         
And all my schemes drowned at the seams

             C               G
Have left me fine in my own skin

                  Am  Eb
I've come a long way

         G    Bm C D
Just to begin
[Verse]
                  G
I've come a long way

Bm                   C     D
Under the cover of darkness

               Em
Trusting a stranger

    G               C#dim C D
A boatman at the shore

                 G
The scourge of hope

Bm                C   D
The ugly face of danger

                   Em
The keepers of the keys

        G           D
Had me down on my knees

                        C#dim C D
In front of the gilded doors
[Pre-chorus]
          Am               Bm                 C  D
And in a world where every ax was poised to grind

            Am               G            C         D
To find my peace I only held up what was already mine
[Chorus]
    G
My name (It's got your name on it)

     D
My shame (It's got your name on it)

     G
My home (It's got your name on it)

             G  C
Everything I own

             G                                         C            G
And all my swords have turned to words that blow like poems in the wind

                 G
I've come a long way
[Bridge]
G
I used to be twisted

            Em
When you called it an opiate

Em
A simple way to cope

                                C                            G
And yet I think you shouldn't skip if you haven't worn the shoes

                G
They start out tight

                         Em
And then they hurt your tired feet at night

                     G              Em
But then they give a little day by day

                     Am
And then before you know it

                          G
You look back and you've come a long way
[Chorus]
    G
         (It's got your name on it)

     D
My shame (It's got your name on it)

     C
My home (It's got your name on it)

G
My name

D
My shame

G
My home

   C             Em
Everything I own

G
I've got your name on it
