1st Verse
Amaj7Amaj7
I set out on a great adventure,
E MajorE
The day my Father started leading me home,
D/C#
Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb,
A augmentedA
And valleys we’re gonna go through.
Amaj7Amaj7
But I had no way of knowing,
E MajorE
Just how hard this journey could be,
D MajorD
Cause the valleys are deeper
C# minorC#m momentarily
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed
Chorus
F# minorF#m
But I know we’re gonna make it,
E MajorE
And I know we’re gonna get there soon
EMaj9Emaj9
And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way
DmDm once)
But it’s just the long way home
Turn around
D MajorD
2nd Verse
A 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
DmDm
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
C# minorC#m
When we can’t take another step,
D MajorD
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
C# minorC#m
And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet,
EMaj9Emaj9
So don’t get too comfortable,
DmDm (strum once)
Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.
Interlude
B minorBm

Well I know that day is coming,
E MajorE
And I know it’s gonna be here soon,

I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
F# minorF#m
Cause our God has made a promise,
E MajorE
And I know that everything He says is true,
EMaj9Emaj9
And he promised He would never ever leave us
EMaj9Emaj9
He’s gonna lead us, He’ll lead us home,
Amaj7Amaj7
Every single step of the long way home,
E MajorE
So keep on, we’re gonna make it,

It’s just a long way home.
