(Intro)
[E]
(Verse)
It's sixteen miles to the [F#m]promised land
And I [A]promise you I'm [B]doing the best I[E] can
Now don't [E]fool yourself
In thinking you're[F#m] more than a man
Cause you'll [A]probably [B]end up dead[E]
I [E]visit these
Mountains[F#m] with frequency
And I [A]stand here with my [B]arms up[E]
(Chorus)
Now [F#m]somedays they'll [B]last longer than [E]others
But [F#m]this day by the [B]lake went too [E]fast
And if you [A]want me
You [B]better speak up [Bm]I won't wait[E]
So you [A]better [B]move fast[E]
(Verse)
Don't [E]fool yourself
In thinking you're [F#m]more than you are
With your [A]arms outstretched to [B]me[E]
Now its [E]16 miles to the [F#m]promised land
And I [A]promise you I'm [B]doing the best I[E] can
(Chorus)
Now [F#m]somedays they'll [B]last longer than [E]others
But [F#m]this day by the [B]lake went too [E]fast
And if you [A]want me
You [B]better speak up [Bm]I won't wait[E]

And if you [A]want me
