[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

[Chorus]
    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

[Chorus]
    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

[Chorus]
    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
