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 theres gonna be mountains to climb ,
Bm A
and valleys were gonna go through .
A Amaj7
but i had no way of knowing ,

cause the valleys are deeper

and the mountains are steeper than i ever would have dreamed

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 .
theres a bag of regret ,
shouldve 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
D F#m D F#m E D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 D Dm
well i know that day is coming
and i know its gonna be here soon
and i know i wont turn back even if the whole world
says im doing the wrong way
cause its just a long way home
