  			       E                                   B 
It's a long and lonely highway when you're travelling all alone.  
      A                                E      B     A 
I was on my way to nowhere but now I'm coming home.  
           E 
I'm coming home.  

          E                         				B        
I've been running through the fire, I've been running for so long.  
                 E                                B 
If I took it any higher, baby I would be still be gone.  

            A 
And now I'm coming home, coming home.  
           E 
I'm coming home.  
    A 
I'm coming home, coming home  
       E 
Coming home.  

Well my home was really never on a far and distant shore.  
If I stayed away forever I could never miss you more.  

Chorus  

F#m				      G#	 
I think of all these years gone by, never even wondered why.  
     A                 E 
I’ve never touched the ground.  
F#m				     G#	 
All the time that's come and gone, all the nights I've been alone.  
    A                E        
And now I'm homeward bound.  

I heard the thunder over Canaan and I heard the angels cry.  
And their voices came revealing as you live, so will you die.  

Chorus
