^D Rome wasn't buildt in ^Em just one day
^G You better tie those s ^D hoes
^D How do you expect to ^Em find your way
Til ^G daylight's breaking l ^D oose
^D Good things come to ^Em those who wait
I ^G won't be hard to f ^D ind
^D If you stop through and ^Em hesitate
^G Hope that you're still ^D kind
^D Get moving ^Em you're proving
^G Things to us all ^D you're teaching
^Em We're reaching ^G out before we ^A fall
^D I want to run like ^Em you
^G Right beside whats ^D true
^D I want to run like ^Em you
^G No telling what we'd ^D find
^D What am I going to do
While ^Em you're away
^G Praying for God ^D speed
^D Wish that I could ^Em make you stay
But ^G that's not what you ^D need
^D You're ready ^Em you're headed
^G Straight through tomorrow
^D Don't forget ^Em as you set
^G The world on ^A fire
^D Oh I want to run like ^Em you
^G Heaven passing ^D thru
^D I want to run like ^Em you
^G No telling what we'll ^D find
SOLO
^D You're ready ^Em you're headed
^G Straight through tomorrow
^D Don't forget ^Em as you set
^G The world on f ^A ire
^D Oh I want to run like ^Em you
^G Right beside what ^D true
^D I want to run like ^Em you
^G No telling what we'll ^D find
^D I want to run like ^Em you
^G Go ahead and I'll catch up
There's no telling what we'll ^D find
