verse 1 

C            G                   C            F - C 
It's been a long time since you saw your home 
       F                   C 
Even those you call the closest  
        F            G 
Have slipped away somehow  
C               G                 C           F - C 
Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road  
          F           C 
With so many miles behind you 
                        F                  G 
You'd think you'd have left this world by now  
C             G                   C        F - C 
You've seen more than they could ever know 
      F              C 
No matter what they say 
                    F              G 
You've earned the right to be so bold 
C          G                 C         F - C 
But this life it takes its toll on you  
F            C                   F           G 
Every face around you looks so tired and so old  


Pre-Chorus 

Dm            C           F 
And you have not seen everything  
Dm        C           F 
You have not seen everything  


C                G             Dm 
But there are things that you know  
                  C 
Things that you know  
C      G                 Dm 
From where you've had to go  
                     C 
Where you've had to go  
C       G                 Dm 
Maybe soon you'll find a place  
            Dm-F 
To call your own  
               C 
To call your home  


verse 2 

C                 G                  C            F - C 
You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes  
           F                   C 
'Til your legs could walk no further  
           F                G   
And your tired soles would burn  
C                  G                C            F - C 
You know there's peace somewhere around the bend  
F                        C  
It's been a long time coming  
             F             G 
And you're ready for your turn 


Pre-Chorus 

Dm            C           F 
And you have not seen everything  
Dm        C           G 
You have not seen everything 



C                G           Dm 
But there are things that you know  
                  C 
Things that you know  
C      G                Dm 
From where you've had to go  
                     C 
Where you've had to go  
C       G                Dm 
Maybe soon you'll find a place  
            Dm-F 
To call your own  
               C 
To call your home  


C                G             Dm 
But there are things that you know  
                  C 
Things that you know  
C      G                 Dm 
From where you've had to go  
                     C 
Where you've had to go  
C       G                  Dm 
Maybe soon you'll find a place  
            Dm-F 
To call your own  
               C 
To call your home
