verse 1 
                  G 
I?ve come a long way 
Bm               C  D 
I was a show on ice 
               Em 
Dazzling and brittle 
      G             C#dim 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#dim 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#dim 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#dim 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
