Verse 1

G C

I’ve been a long time coming

G D

I’ve been a long time gone

G C

I’ve been a long time running

G D

From everything I’ve done wrong

Em C

I’ve been a long time searching

G D

For a soft place to fall down

Em C

I’ve been a long time learning

G D

That my feet are still on the ground

Chorus

G

And there’s a new thing coming

C

I can feel it in the air

G

There’s a new thing coming

D

And I know it’ll meet me there

There’s a new thing coming

C

For the restless and the weary

G

There’s a new thing coming

D G

And it might not be so scary

Verse 2

G C

I’ve been a long time aching

G D

I’ve been a long time sore

G C

I’ve been a long time making

G D

A mess and wanting more

I’ve been a long time wishing

G D

On a star that’s long burnt out

Em C

I’ve been a long time thinking

What my life is all about

And there’s a new thing coming

I can feel it in the air

There’s a new thing coming

For the restless and the weary

There’s a new thing coming

And it might not be so scary

So let the old ways falter

Let the new days break

Let your hardened heart alter

G D

For heaven and your own sake

Chorus

G

‘Cause there’s a new thing coming

C

I can feel it in the air

G

There’s a new thing coming

D

And I know it’ll meet me there

But I’m almost home
