... A Bm G
A                    Bm         G
  I took it all, all on my back
I picked it up on my shoulders
A                           Bm       G
  Thought it was all, all I could have

                            Em
  And it was better, it was better than nothing

A                         Bm         G
  Now I know, I know that isn't true
What have I got to show
   Em
  After seeing it through

A                      Bm        G
  Now I know, I know a few things

           Em       A
  And I can feel it

  Em           A
  Coming towards me
[Chorus]
             G                              D
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
               G                              D
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
  G
  Everything I tried and

                               D
  All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
             G                                D
  It took me   so long to get here but here I am

A
  If I could do it, do it all again

G
  I can't safely say I wouldn't change it

A                            Bm            G
  There were things left me feeling ashamed

A                   A                     G
  Like how I didn't   stand up for myself

                Em                 A
  I didn't even try to see the truth

                             Bm      G
  But the truth  led to you calling my name

         Em           A
  And it shot like an arrow

  Em       A
  Into my heart
[Chorus]
               G                              D
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
               G                              D
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
  G
  Everything I tried and

                               D
  All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
             G                                D
  It took me   so long to get here but here I am

F#        A
  All my systems were failing

C#                   B                     F#m
  And it didn't seem fair, no it didn't seem fair

                F#
  But it made way

      A
  For something different

C#                      B
  I could feel it in the air, feel it in the air
[Chorus] It took me so long to get here but here I am (It took me so long I can't believe it)
               E                              A
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
  E
  Everything I tried and

                               A
  All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
             E                                A
  It took me   so long to get here but here I am
[Chorus]
               E                              A
    It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
               E                              A
  It took me so long to get here but here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
  E
  Everything I tried and

                               A
  All the things I dreamed of
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
             E                                A
  It took me   so long to get here but here I am

E       A
  Here I am

        E
  Here I am
(It took me so long I can't believe it)
        A
  Here I am
(It took me so long but here I am)
        E
  Here I am
