          C           G        Am             F 
Well this road is long and I'm so far from my home 
C           G             F          F 
  Some days I don't recognise myself 
          C              G         Am               F 
Though my faith is strong there is still so far to go 
C             G                F            F 
  Some nights I can't help but doubt myself 



    Dm                G          C               F 
For I'm not the kid I used to be back when I was young 
  Dm               G                C                    F 
I talk now where I used to shout, I walk where I used to run 
         Dm                G         C                  F 
But I am still my father's boy, I am still my mother's son 
           Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7 
And they know           like I know 
G7* 
  That the road is long 


 
          C           G        Am                  F 
Well this road is long and the path's not always clear 
C           G                  F         F 
  Some days I don't know which way to go 
          C              G        Am          F 
Though my heart is strong it gets heavy with fear 
C                G             F         F 
  Some nights I wonder if I'll ever know 


 
    Dm                   G             C              F 
For I'm not the man I'll grow to be in many years to come 
     Dm             G                      C                   F 
I'll listen where I used to speak and I'll sit where I used to run 
        Dm               G         C            F 
Maybe a husband to a wife, maybe a father to a son 
              Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7  G6 
And they'll know           like I know 
G7              G6  C 
  That the road is long

        Dm                     G 
But for now I'm just the man I am 
        C                 F 
Nothing less and nothing more 
    Dm            G 
I'm everything I have become 
     C                  F 
From all that's been before 
     Dm             G 
I've never really known a lot 
    C               F 
But one thing I am sure 
         Dm  Dsus2 Dm          G7  G6 
That I know           Yes, I know 
G7         G6  C 
  The road is long
