Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1:]

(no chord)
I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
    C# minorC#m               BB   E MajorE
And the long hard road to guide me back home

E MajorE
Back to my mama who raised me up right
A augmentedA
And back to my lady I held every night
C# minorC#m                 BB
It's a long hard road trying to get home
     C# minorC#m       BB
I've been gone now for too long

[Chorus:]
         E MajorE
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E MajorE         A augmentedA
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

         E MajorE
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E MajorE          A augmentedA
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'm just trying to get home

[Verse 2:]

E MajorE
I've got this image engraved in my mind
   A augmentedA
Of a light that I had in a whole different time
     C# minorC#m                 BB
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road
     E MajorE
I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
   A augmentedA
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
    C# minorC#m             BB            A augmentedA
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

[Chorus:]

E MajorE
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
A augmentedA
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
          C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

         E MajorE
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E MajorE          A augmentedA
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'm just trying to get home

[Bridge:]

(no chord)
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home

E MajorE
I've been gone for so long
E MajorE
But my heart it carries on
C# minorC#m
I won't give up

[Chorus:]

         E MajorE
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E MajorE         A augmentedA
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

A augmentedA         E MajorE
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E MajorE          A augmentedA
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A augmentedA         C# minorC#m  BB          A augmentedA
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'm just trying to get home

E MajorE
I'm just trying to get home [X2]
