1st Verse:
       G                           G7 
I set out on a great adventure,
                      Em                                       D 
The day my Father started leading me home,
                       C                                                 C/B 
Said there?s gonna be mountains to climb,
                                  Am                            G
And valleys we?re gonna go through.

           G                       G7
But I had no way of knowing,
                 Em                                   D 
Just how hard this journey could be,
                  C                                                 
Cause the mountains are steeper
               C/B                                 Am         Am/Bm momentarily
And the valleys are deeper than I ever would have dreamed

Chorus:
C                                 Em
    But I know we?re gonna make it,
C                                  Em     D
    And I know we?re gonna get there soon
C                             Em                                        Dsus2      Dmaj9
    And I know sometimes it seems like we?re going the wrong way
C                              Cm
    But it?s just the long way home

Turn around: 
G   G7   Em   C

2nd Verse:
G   G7   Em   D   C   C/B   Am   Am (G)
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 2:   
C                                 Em
Well I know that day is coming
C                                  Em     D
And I know it?s gonna be here soon
C                             Em                                        
And I know I won?t turn back even if the whole world 
                    Dsus2      Dmaj9
Says I?m going the wrong way
C                              Cm
Cause it?s just a long way home

Bridge:
Am               Bm                            Bm 
       When we can?t take another step,
                           Em                    D                        C
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
                                      Am                                  Bm
        And even on the best days, He says to remember we?re not home yet,
                       Dsus2                    D9
So don?t get too comfortable,
                      C                         Cm
Cause really all we?re is just pilgrims passing through.

   I?ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
C                                    Em
   Cause our God has made a promise,

                     C           Cm                      Dsus2   D9   
He?s gonna lead us,     He?ll lead us home,
C                   Cm            G        G7
Every single step of the long way home,

   We?re just taking the long way home,

    Keep on we?re gonna make it,
Em                D
    I know we?re gonna make it,
C                   Cm
    It?s just a long way home.
