Introduction:
G Bm C D
verse 1
G
I?ve come a long way
Bm C D
I was a show on ice
Em
Dazzling and brittle
G C#º C D
But subject to the sun
G
And then one day
Bm C D
I went little by little
Em
Back to the water
G C#º C D
The place where I?d come from
Pre-Chorus
Am
And I went under
Bm C D
Like stones tied in a sack
Am
And I got emptied
Bm C D
And started my way back
G
My name (It?s got your name on it)
D
My shame (It?s got your name on it)
G
My home (It?s got your name on it)
G C
Everything I own
G
And all my schemes drowned at the seams
C G
Have left me fine in my own skin
Am Eb
I?ve come a long way
G Bm C D
Just to begin
Verse
G
I?ve come a long way
Bm C D
Under the cover of darkness
Em
Trusting a stranger
G C#º C D
A boatman at the shore
G
The scourge of hope
Bm C D
The ugly face of danger
Em
The keepers of the keys
G D
Had me down on my knees
C#º C D
In front of the gilded doors
Pre-Chorus
Am Bm C D
And in a world where every ax was poised to grind
Am G C D
To find my peace I only held up what was already mine
G
My name (It?s got your name on it)
D
My shame (It?s got your name on it)
G
My home (It?s got your name on it)
G C
Everything I own
G C G
And all my swords have turned to words that blow like poems in the wind
G
I?ve come a long way
Bridge
G
I used to be twisted
Em
When you called it an opiate
Em
A simple way to cope
C G
And yet I think you shouldn?t skip if you haven?t worn the shoes
G
They start out tight
Em
And then they hurt your tired feet at night
G Em
But then they give a little day by day
Am
And then before you know it
G
You look back and you?ve come a long way
G
(It?s got your name on it)
D
My shame (It?s got your name on it)
C
My home (It?s got your name on it)
G
My name
D
My shame
G
My home
C Em
Everything I own
G
I?ve got your name on it
