INTRO: G D Em D (2x)

It’s a long way back
Down a lonely road
And the cold hard facts
Make for a heavy load
The forgiveness you ask could heal your soul
N.A. Em D Em D
But it’s a long way back (long way back)
Yeah, it’s a long way back

And I might let you in
And I might let you twist
Pardon every sin
Seal the bargain with a kiss
Too much has passed for me to walk you through this
N.A. Em D Em D
And it’s a long way back (long way back)
Yeah, it’s a long way back (long way back)

BRIDGE:
Wake up the world has changed and nothing is quite the same
A cold and bitter wind is hot on your heals, old friend_______
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

INSTRUMENTAL: Em D Em D Em D A D

It’s a long way back
From where I stand
You’re clean off the map
Knee deep in no-man’s land
You ain’t got no one to ask____ for a helping hand
N.A. Em D Em D
And it’s a long way back (long way back)
Yeah, it’s a long way back (long way back)
Long way back
It’s a long way back

Some learn early and some learn hard
F G C ~ Am
Somebody called me in from my backyard
F G C ~ Am
And I heard the whispers, something was wrong
And I knew you were gone

CHORUS:
But, the sun came up and the sun went down
Spring lies waiting beneath the frozen ground
And I’ll be seeing you around
N.C. Am F G
So it goes___
So it goes___

F G C ~ Am
And I made some good friends and I made mistakes
F G C ~ Am
I lost my religion and I found my faith
F G C ~ Am F
And I tried to walk down every path I chose
So it goes

CHORUS:
And the sun comes up and the sun goes down
Spring lies waiting beneath the frozen ground
And I’ll be seeing you around
N.C. Am F G
So it goes___
So it goes___

BRIDGE:
Seems like a small offering
In the grand scheme of things
But it gets me through, yeah
The thought of losing you___
Na na na naa naaaaa

CHORUS:
And the sun comes up and the sun goes down
Spring lies waiting beneath the frozen ground
And I’ll be seeing you around
N.C. Am F G
So it goes___
