Note about the riff:
Strum each named chord to fill in the gaps between the next part of
the riff

D                               Em
Don't look inside, don't look there
                 G    A             D
'Cause you might find yourself somewhere
                           Em
A walkin' round, lost and alone
            G    A                     D
I have one clue, that it's a long way home


riff

Years and years is a long time
To drag your heart across every rock you find
The hurt is deep and it's pull is strong
But the passion shows that it's a long way home

Bridge
       Em                G               D
Oh and I can't take one single step for you
    Em                G                               A     D
But I might just help to find some small path-a-way through


riff

Don't look back, 'cause you might see
Just how far all that used to be
Let your mind think on what's gone
Then you'll know that it's a long way home

            G     A                     D
Yeah, you'll know that it's a long way home
You'll find out that it's a long way home
         Em    A                    G  D(end of riff)
Ain't no doubt that it's a long way home
