Album: "Something Different" (Coming Soon)
Key: C
Tempo: 122
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
  CIt's been a long time Fsince you felt peace
  CIn the valley you made Fwhere you're not meant to be
  AmWhere the shame throws Fshadows on you
But don't you forGget
That you're headed to Cmore
But you've settled for Fless
Don't buy the liCe “it's as good as it Ggets”
The same feet that leAmft you lost and aFlone
Are the very same Ffeet that can Gbring you back Chome
[Chorus]
N.C.                           F  G  
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a Cpage in your Ambook, but it isn't the eGnd
Your Father will meeFt you with Garms open Cwide
AmThis is where your heart belGongs
N.C.                      F        G        Am  G  
Come running like a prodigal
[Verse 2]
  CThere will be nights, Fwhen you hear whispers
  COf the life you once knew, Fdon't let it linger
  AmCause there's a grace that Ffalls upon you
Don't you forgGet
In the places your Cweak
He is very Fstrong
Don't ever belCieve “you don't deserve lFove”
The same God that protCects you when you're lost and alFone
Is the very same GFod that is caGlling you hCome
[Chorus]
N.C.                           F  G  
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a Cpage in your Ambook, but it isn't the eGnd
Your Father will meeFt you with Garms open Cwide
AmThis is where your heart belGongs
Come running like a FprodigaGlAm  G  
[Bridge]
FOh…
Let your Glife be made Cnew
FOh…
As you Gcome into Cview
Your FFather's not waiting, no hGe's running Amtoo
FHe's running sGtraight to CyouC  
Wherever you Fare,G  
whatever you FdidG  
[Chorus]
N.C.                           F  G  
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a Cpage in your Ambook, but it isn't the eGnd
Your Father will meeFt you with Garms open Cwide

Come running like a FprodigaGlAm  G
