G C/G G C/G
When I was a boy / My grace was near
G C/G G C/G
Over time, it disappeared
G C/G G C/G
Well, I'm on my way / Don't you cry for me
G C/G G
It was good to say the least
C G Bm Em
Well, the door is almost closed / And we're staring through the darkness
Am G Am D7
Well, the war is almost won / Can you hear the kingdom come
C G Bm Em
As the day begins to fade / And we turn the final page
Am G C/G G C/G
I am on my way back home
G C/G G C/G
Well, I gave my best / Or so it seemed
G C/G G C/G
And with God I have made peace
G C/G G C/G
When you're old and grey / Will you think of me
G C/G G
With a smile upon your face
[Chorus]
C G Bm Em
Well, the door is almost closed / And we're staring through the darkness
Am G Am D7
Well, the war is almost won / Can you hear the kingdom come
C G Bm Em
As the day begins to fade / And we turn the final page
Am D7
I am on my way back home
G
Strange how something so sweet can become a lie
Am G
I never had the chance to say good night
[Chorus]
C G Bm Em
Well, the door is almost closed / And we're staring through the darkness
Am G Am D7
Well, the war is almost won / Can you hear the kingdom come
C G Bm Em
As the day begins to fade / And we turn the final page
Am G C/G
I am on my way back home
Am G C/G
Yes, I'm on my way back home
G C/G G C/G G
