Am          D           Em      C
Stopping to ask for directions
Am             D            Em    C            D
Sketching with these dirty colors just where I am

[Verse 2]
N.C.             Em       C
You might have heard me
Am        D          Em          C
Artfully dodging the buzz words
Am          D         Em
Scoffing at your insinuation
                D
Of just where I am


[Chorus]
      G         C
I'm a long long way
Am           D          G       C
From where I left to begin this refrain
Am              D         G       C
From where Your mercy and grace remain
Am             D         C
From where you sit is it true
                     D
It's not that far to You


[Verse 3]
N.C.         Em    C
It happened slowly
Am           D            Em       C
Feet falling hard on the pavement
Am            D        Em
Eyes reaching into the distance
C             D
Toward empty sunsets


[Bridge]
Am     F Dm              G               Am
Didn't I   need to break out, want to be king
Am       F Dm           G            Am
Wouldn't I   face the gallows if I return
Am      F  Dm            G
Or is a man   freely pardoned
          Am
As I have heard


[Verse 4]
N.C.      Em   C
Precious Jesus
Am          D              Em
Where can I flee from Your Spirit
    C           D
You know me too well
