Intro
A)

 1st Verse
       Amaj7
I set out on a great adventure,
                      E
The day my Father started leading me home,
                       D/C#
Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb,
                                  A
And valleys we’re gonna go through.

           Amaj7
But I had no way of knowing,
                 E
Just how hard this journey could be,
                  D
Cause the valleys are deeper
               C#m momentarily
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed

Chorus
F#m
    But I know we’re gonna make it,
E
    And I know we’re gonna get there soon
Emaj9
    And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way
Dm once)
    But it’s just the long way home

Turn around
D

2nd Verse
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
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
C#m
       When we can’t take another step,
                           D
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
                                      C#m
        And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet,
                       Emaj9
So don’t get too comfortable,
                      Dm (strum once)
Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.

Interlude
Bm

Alternative Chorus
F#m
    Well I know that day is coming,
E
    And I know it’s gonna be here soon,
Emaj9
   I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
F#m
   Cause our God has made a promise,
E
   And I know that everything He says is true,
Emaj9
  And he promised He would never ever leave us
                     Emaj9
He’s gonna lead us,     He’ll lead us home,
Amaj7
Every single step of the long way       home,


E
   So keep on, we’re gonna make it,
Dm
   We’re just taking the long way home,
Amaj7
    Keep on we’re gonna make it,
E
    I know we’re gonna make it,
Dm once)
    It’s just a long way home.
