[Intro]
| A | E E4 E | Dmaj7 | A |
| A | E E4 E | Dmaj7 | A |
[Verse 1]
A E E4 E
Will I come or will I stay, I guess time will show
Dmaj7 A
Sometimes I lose my temper but I never lose my soul
A E E4 E
For a longer time now than ever before
Dmaj7 A
I have been away from my safety zone
A E E4 E
My beloved friend you're so dear to me
Dmaj7 A
High up on the hill where the air is cold and free
A E E4 E
Something has changed but I can't put a finger on what
Dmaj7 A
So different but still so unchanged
[Instrumental]
| E E4 E | Dmaj7 | A | A |
| E E4 E | Dmaj7 | A | A |
[Verse 2]
A E E4 E
One thing can be that all my friends have moved
Dmaj7 A
To other places, other towns while I'm still in my room
A E E4 E
Every single one of them packed their things and disappeared
Dmaj7 A
While I sat out on the porch and wished they wouldn't leave me here
A E E4 E
But I figured this is the way it is supposed to be
Dmaj7 A
The road is long and things are washing over me
A E E4 E
Time passes so quickly, do I really want all this now
Dmaj7 A
The weather is changing just like you and I
[Chorus]
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
[Verse 3]
A E E4 E
I remember when you lived on Taps Alley number 12
Dmaj7 A
How we walked up the stone stairs in the stairwell
A E E4 E
We hadn't seen each other for a pretty long time
Dmaj7 A
And I felt that the older we get the less often we'll come around
A E E4 E
One year has passed and I have the things I do
Dmaj7 A
I lose my will in my texts and lose my will in the truth
A E E4 E
I've been out on the roads in a big white van
Dmaj7 A
I've been blowing things up with a rock'n'roll band, yeah
[Chorus]
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
[Verse 4]
A E E4 E
I remember when we stood outside entrance number 12
Dmaj7 A
And one of the apartments in staircase 12
A E E4 E
Had one window open where music poured out
Dmaj7 A
I started laughing and you asked me what I laughed about
A E E4 E
I think a year has passed and I've devoted my life to the road
Dmaj7 A
I have learned to know new faces, new jokes and talks
A E E4 E
In and out, back and forth, a bit rock‘n'roll
Dmaj7 A E
Confuses my already confused head and I feel so young and so old
[Chorus]
E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
[Verse 5]
A E E4 E
Vägen är lång och jag bara åker med
Dmaj7 A
Det går så fort hit och dit och jag försöker hinna med
A E E4 E
Att förstå vad jag gör men det är inte alltid så lätt
Dmaj7 A
På samma gång är jag glad, ledsen, hungrig och mätt
A E E4 E
Vägen är lång genom allt och ingenting
Dmaj7 A
Men jag har alltid gillat vägen och att bara åka omkring
A E E4 E
Allt ser likadant ut samtidigt som allt är nytt
Dmaj7 A
Fjäll, skog och vatten, en fågel på flykt
[Chorus]
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
[Bridge]
A E
Life is a funny thing isn't it
D A
It is what it is and we only have this
A E
I think I might be bound to a life on the road
D A
That's what you said, long is the road
[Chorus]
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
E E4 E Dmaj7 A
The road is long, vägen är lång
