VERSE 1
              D                   Em
Don't look inside no, don't look there
                  G  A               D
'Cause you might find yourself somewhere
            D             Em
Walkin' around lost and alone
            G   A                     D
Without one clue that it's a long way home



VERSE 2
           D                 Em
Years and years is a lot of time
             G             A              D
To drag your heart across every rock you find
         D                     Em
Hate is deep and its pull is strong
                   G   A                      D
But the passion's short then it's a long way home



BRIDGE
Em                G               D
I can't take one single step for you
      Em
But I might just help
   G
To find some 
               A
Small pathway through



VERSE 3
           D                      Em
Don't look back, 'cause you might see
          G  A                D
Just how far all that used to be
              D                    Em
Just let your mind think on what's gone
                G   A                     D
And then you'll know that it's a long way home



CODA
             G   A                     D
Yeah, you'll know that it's a long way home
            G  A                     D
You'll find out that it's a long way home
               Em   A                     G    D
There ain't no doubt that it's a long way home
