[G#m]
[E]
It's 16 miles to [F#m] the promised lands I
[A] promise you [B] I'm doing the best [E] I can
Now don't fool yourself and think [F#m] you're more than a man
[A] Cause you'll probably
[B] end up [E] dead
I visit these [F#m] mountains with frequency
[A] And I stand here with [B] my arms [E] up
[F#m] Now some [B] days they last [E] longer than others
[F#m] But this day by [B] the lake went too [E] fast
And [F#m] if you want me [B] you better speak [C#m] up
I won't [E] wait so [A] you better [E] move fast
Don't fool yourself and think [F#m] you're more than you are
[A] With your arms outstretched [B] to me
[E]
Now it's 16 miles to [F#m] the promised lands
And [A] I promise you [B] I'm doing the [E] best I can
[F#m] Now some days [B] they last longer [E] than others
[F#m] But this day [B] by the lake went [E] too fast
And if [F#m] you want me [B] you better [C#m] speak up
I won't [E] wait so [A] you better
[B] move [E] fast
[F#m] And some days [B] they last longer [E] than others
But [F#m] this day [B] by the lake went [E] too fast
And [A] if you want me [B] you better [Em] speak [C#m] up
I won't [E] wait so [A] you better [Em] [B]
move fast
[E]
