Key: F
Introduction:
F
Why does it take so long for me
Dm Am
To know who I want to be, yeah
F
I've been an orphan down and out
Dm Am
And a king with a calloused heart, yeah
C
But who am I supposed to be
(Chorus)
F
I've carried this cross
Dm
I've been lost and lonely
Am
I had to walk this world to see
C
That you are where I want to be
F
And why does it take so long (take so long)
Dm
And why does it take so long (take so long)
Gm C
To find my way home
F
Why can't I just let it go
Dm Am
I've been fighting with my own soul, yeah
C
It's a fight I'm losing
F
But something's gonna turn around
Dm Am
I'm on the ropes but don't count me out yet
C
No don't count me out
(Chorus)
Gm Am
Looking for something written in the sky
Dm
To show me how
F Gm Am
To get what's in my heart to my head now
Gm Am
Looking for something written in the sky
Dm
To show me how
Bb9 Gm Am
To get what's in my heart to my head now
Dm
I've carried this cross
I've been lost and lonely
Am
I had to walk this world to see
C
That you are where I want to be
F
You carried the cross
Dm
For the lost and lonely
Am
You had to walk this world so I could see
C
That you are where I want to be
F
Why did it take so long? (You were here all along)
Dm
Why did it take so long? (Even when I was wrong)
