[Verse 1:]

(no chord)
I've got these letters tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of where I come from
        C#m                             B     EAnd the long hard road to guide me back home

EBack to my mama who raised me up right
AAnd back to my lady I held every night
C#m                                 BIt's a long hard road trying to get home
          C#m              BI've been gone now for too long

[Chorus:]
                  EI'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E                 AI'm not trying to shake the ground below
A                  C#m    B                   A I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

                  EI'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E                   AI'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A                  C#m    B                   AI'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A                      EI'm just trying to get home

[Verse 2:]

E                   I've got this image engraved in my mind
     AOf a light that I had in a whole different time
         C#m                                  BIt still breathes and lives at the end of the road

          EI've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
      ABut I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
       C#m                         B                       AI will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home

[Chorus:]

EI'm not trying to stop a hurricane
AI'm not trying to shake the ground below
                   C#m    B                   A I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

                  EI'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E                   AI'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A                  C#m    B                   AI'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A                      EI'm just trying to get home

[Bridge:]

(no chord)
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home

EI've been gone for so long
EBut my heart it carries on
C#mI won't give up

[Chorus:]

                  EI'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E                 AI'm not trying to shake the ground below
A                  C#m    B                   A I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home

A                 EI'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E                   AI'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A                  C#m    B                   AI'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
A                      EI'm just trying to get home

EI'm just trying to get home [X2]
