Verse 1:
A
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
       Dadd9
The good man died, the bad man thrives
       Gbm7                              E
And Jesus cries because he loves em both

Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
A                                         Dadd9
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
                                Gbm7
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
                             E
Confusing illusions Ive seen


 A
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
       Dadd9
To every Chorus of the song
              Gbm7
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
E                                               A
Leading mice and men down to their fates
                                Dadd9
But some will courageously escape
                                        Gbm7
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
                           E
While walkin that line back home


                          A
So much more to life than weve been told
          Dadd9
Its full of beauty that will unfold
       Gbm7                              E
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
                                                 A
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
                                     Dadd9
Go down into the river and let it run
                                           Gbm7
And wash away all the things youve done
                 E
Forgiveness alright

Chorus:
A           Dadd9      Gbm7               E
Farther along well know all about it
A           Dadd9      Gbm7               E
Farther along well understand why
A                 Dadd9     Gbm7          E
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
A            Dadd9         Gbm7           E
Well understand this, all by and by

Instrumental: A  Dadd9  Gbm7  E

Verse 2:
A
Still I get hard pressed on every side
                 Dadd9
Between the rock and a compromise
             Gbm7                                E
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul
                                 A
And Ive got no place left to go
                                                Dadd9
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
                                     Gbm7
More glory than the world has known
                            E
Keeps me ramblin on


                  A
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
      Dadd9
Im free to love once and for all
       Gbm7                                      E
And even when I fall Ill get back up
                                           A
For the joy that overflows my cup
                                             Dadd9
Heaven filled me with more than enough
                                       Gbm7
Broke down my levees and my bluff
                        E
Let the flood wash me


A
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Dadd9
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Gbm7                                     E
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of god is forever blessed
A                                             Dadd9
His is the kingdom, were the guests
                                         Gbm7
So put your voice up to the test
                             E
Sing Lord, come soon

Chorus:
A           Dadd9      Gbm7              E
Farther along well know all about it
A           Dadd9      Gbm7              E
Farther along well understand why
A                 Dadd9     Gbm7         E
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
A            Dadd9         Gbm7          E
Well understand this, all by and by
