Intro: / E - - - / x4

E F#m

It's sixteen miles to the promised land

A (1) B (1) E

And I promise you I'm doing the best I can

E F#m

Now don't fool yourself in thinking you're more than a man

A (1) B (1) E

Cause you'll probably end up dead

E F#m

I visit these mountains with frequency

A (1) B (1) E

And I stand here with my arms up

Chorus:

F#m (1) B (1) E

Now some days they last longer than others

F#m (1) B (1) E

But this day by the lake went too fast

F#m (1) B (1) C#m (1) E (1)

And if you want me, you better speak up I won't wait

A (1) B (1) E

So you better move fast

E F#m

Don't fool yourself In thinking you're more than you are

A (1) B (1) E

With your arms outstretched to me

E F#m

Now it's sixteen miles to the promised land

A (1) B (1) E

And I promise you I'm doing the best I can

Chorus x2, end on last E
