       F#
Got my mind made up

And I'm coming back for you
      D#m                              B        F#
I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon

      F#
I can see you there
       B       F#     C#
In the bedroom by the stairs
         D#m                       B          F#
Oh, I've always been running but I don't know where

But I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be

               F#
But when those trumpets sound,
         B        F#     C#
When the good Lord  calls  my name,
              D#m
Oh, I'm gonna be with you

And oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh,
        D#m                     B       F#
It took twenty-five years but I finally see
        D#m                     B       F#
It took twenty-five years but I finally see
(Strum) D#m                     B       F#
It took twenty-five years but I think I see
