[Verse 1]
C
Play me something
gently,
I'm across the
 F             C
ocean missin' home
           F
There are lights
on sparklin'
  C    C/B
towers that shine
 Am       C/B   C
dark when seen alone
C
Somewhere there's a
mountain that
 F             C
overlooks the sea
   F
I wonder if that
   C
mountain
    C/B
has got more
 Am          C/B
rock than my band
    C
and me
C
And I ain't no
victim to a
 F           C
naive boy's dreams
       F
But I wish you were
here
 C     C/B
now to see these
  Am        C/B
damned old sparklin'
  C
things

[Chorus]
        F
It's a long road
to
  C
heaven (Long road)
        G
It's a far drop
   Am
to hell

I pray we outlive
this
   C
fountain (Pray we
outlive)
   G
I reckon time will
 Am
tell
The stronger folks
keep
   F    C
goin'
No matter where

they've been

[Verse 2]
C
I am not the
person that I
F          C
was yesterday
           F
And the things
I'm

C
Do you think
God's a

person or the
          C
blinking lights?
      F
They reflect in
     C
her eyes
  C/B      Am
while she walks
        C/B
these streets at
  C
night
C
Do you think
God’s a
           F
person or is
              C
He just the sound
      F
Of laughter through
the
  C  C/B
walls in a
  Am     C/B
place I haven't
    C
found?
[Chorus]

It's a long road to
  C
heaven (Long road)
        G
It's a far drop to
Am
hell
           F
I pray we outlive
this
  C
fountain (Pray we
outlive)
   G
I reckon time will
 Am
tell
The stronger folks
        F    C
keep goin'
No matter where
they've
 G
been (No matter
where
        Am
they've been)
And there are
lights on
           F      C
sparklin' towers
That I'll never see
 G
again (I'll
                 Am
never see them again)

[Outro]
C
Do you think God’s a
person or
 F               C
is He just the sound
     F
Of early mornin'
  C
creakin
 C/B
''on some
 Am     C/B        C
floors way out of town?
C
I'm breathin' in a
life and my
 F                C
legs are workin' fine
    F
Do you think God's
   C
a person
C/B       Am
or the slowly
   C/B    C
passin' time?
