A   Amaj7   F#m   E   D   D/C#   Bm   Bm (A) 

 1st Verse 
       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 

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 

Turn around :
 
A   Amaj7   F#m   D 

2nd Verse 
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. 

  
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.

Alternative Chorus 
D                                F#m 
    Well I know that day is coming,

   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,

  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,

   So keep on, we?re gonna make it,

   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.
