       A                           Amaj7 I set out on a great adventure,

Turn around 
A   Amaj7   F#m   D

2nd Verse
A   Amaj7   F#m   E   D   D/C#   Bm   Bm (A)Some rocks on my shoes,
Fears I wish I could lose,
That make the mountains so hard to climb,
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes.
There’s a bag of regret,
Should’ve beens and not yets,
That keep on dragging around,
And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down.

Chorus    
D  F#m  D   F#m   E   D F#m   Esus2   Emaj9   D   DmWell I know that day is coming
And I know it’s gonna be here soon
And I know I won’t turn back even if the whole world 
Says I’m doing the wrong way
Cause it’s just a long way home
