Walkin' around lost and alone

Without one clue that it's a long way home

VERSE 2

Hate is deep and its pull is strong

G A D

But the passion's short then it's a long way home

BRIDGE

I can't take one single step for you

But I might just help

G

To find some

A

Small pathway through

VERSE 3

And then you'll know that it's a long way home

CODA

Yeah, you'll know that it's a long way home

G A D

Em A G D

There ain't no doubt that it's a long way home
