[Intro]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A)
[Verse 1]
A Amaj7 I set out on a great adventure, F#m E The day my Father started leading me home, D D/C# Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb, Bm A And valleys we’re gonna go through. A Amaj7 But I had no way of knowing, F#m E Just how hard this journey could be, D Cause the valleys are deeper D/C# Bm Bm slide to C#m momentarily And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed
[Chorus]
D F#m But I know we’re gonna make it, D F#m E And I know we’re gonna get there soon D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way D Dm (strum Dm once) But it’s just the long way home
[Turnaround]
A Amaj7 F#m D
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A) Some rocks on my shoes,
Fears I wish I could lose,
That make the mountains so hard to climb,
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes.
There’s a bag of regret,
Should’ve beens and not yets,
That keep on dragging around,
And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down.
[Chorus]
D F#m D F#m E D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 D Dm Well I know that day is coming
And I know it’s gonna be here soon
And I know I won’t turn back even if the whole world
Says I’m doing the wrong way
Cause it’s just a long way home
[Bridge]
Bm C#m C#m When we can’t take another step, F#m E D The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms, Bm C#m And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet, Esus2 Emaj9 So don’t get too comfortable, D Dm (strum once) Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.
[Interlude]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm
[Alternative Chorus]
D F#m Well I know that day is coming, D F#m E And I know it’s gonna be here soon, D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say, D F#m Cause our God has made a promise, D F#m E And I know that everything He says is true, D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 And he promised He would never ever leave us D Dm Esus2 Emaj9 He’s gonna lead us, He’ll lead us home, D Dm (Strum Dm once) A Amaj7 Every single step of the long way home,
[Outro]
F#m E So keep on, we’re gonna make it, D Dm We’re just taking the long way home, A Amaj7 Keep on we’re gonna make it, F#m E I know we’re gonna make it, D Dm (strum Dm once) It’s just a long way home.
A Amaj7=A (strum A once)
