Looking foGrward looking bCack
I've come a lAmong way down the tEmrack
Got a lAmong way left to Emgo
Making sGongs from what I kCnow
Making seGnse of what I've sCeen
All the lAmove we've had beEmtween
You and AmI along the tEmrack
Looking foGrward looking bCack
[Verse]
There are stAmrange days
Full of DmchangEme on the wAmay
But we'll be fGine unlike sCome
I'll be lDeaning forward to sGee what's coming
  NC                    G  C  
Looking forward looking back
I've come a lAmong way down the tEmrack
Got a lAmong way left to Emgo
Making soGngs from what I kCnow

If I'm alAmone at night I can see
Through Dmall EmtriviAmality
Of the dGay and I'm oCkay
I just thDink of those who aGre dear to me

Looking forward looking back
I've come aAmlong way down the tEmrack
Got a lAmong way left to Emgo
Making sGongs from what I kCnow
Making sGongs from what I kCnow
Looking foGrward looking bCack
