Intro
Chord diagramA augmentedA)

 1st Verse
       Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
I set out on a great adventure,
                      Chord diagramE MajorE
The day my Father started leading me home,
                       D/C#
Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb,
                                  Chord diagramA augmentedA
And valleys we’re gonna go through.

           Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
But I had no way of knowing,
                 Chord diagramE MajorE
Just how hard this journey could be,
                  Chord diagramD MajorD
Cause the valleys are deeper
               Chord diagramC# minorC#m momentarily
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed

Chorus
Chord diagramF# minorF#m
    But I know we’re gonna make it,
Chord diagramE MajorE
    And I know we’re gonna get there soon
Chord diagramEMaj9Emaj9
    And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way
Chord diagramDmDm once)
    But it’s just the long way home

Turn around
Chord diagramD MajorD

2nd Verse
Chord diagramA augmentedA)
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
Chord diagramDmDm
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
Chord diagramC# minorC#m
       When we can’t take another step,
                           Chord diagramD MajorD
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
                                      Chord diagramC# minorC#m
        And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet,
                       Chord diagramEMaj9Emaj9
So don’t get too comfortable,
                      Chord diagramDmDm (strum once)
Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.

Interlude
Chord diagramB minorBm

Alternative Chorus
Chord diagramF# minorF#m
    Well I know that day is coming,
Chord diagramE MajorE
    And I know it’s gonna be here soon,
Chord diagramEMaj9Emaj9
   I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
Chord diagramF# minorF#m
   Cause our God has made a promise,
Chord diagramE MajorE
   And I know that everything He says is true,
Chord diagramEMaj9Emaj9
  And he promised He would never ever leave us
                     Chord diagramEMaj9Emaj9
He’s gonna lead us,     He’ll lead us home,
Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
Every single step of the long way       home,


Chord diagramE MajorE
   So keep on, we’re gonna make it,
Chord diagramDmDm
   We’re just taking the long way home,
Chord diagramAmaj7Amaj7
    Keep on we’re gonna make it,
Chord diagramE MajorE
    I know we’re gonna make it,
Chord diagramDmDm once)
    It’s just a long way home.
