D              G    D            A
You've come a long way from the runny-nosed
       C            G
and scruffy kid I knew
              D
You had such good ways
         G  D       A
I can remember the little things
     C                 G
that always made you smile
               D
They made you happy

Chorus:
          A           G                   D
Now you think you're wiser because you're older
          A         G                D
And you think that money buys everything
          A        G              D
And you think you need no one to guide you
             A      G             D
But you're still a long way from home

You've come a long way,
you're self-assured and dressed in funny clothes
But you don't know me

Chorus:
I hope you find what you are looking for
With your car and your handmade overcoats
But your wealth will never make you stronger
'Cos you're still a long way from home
Yeah, you're still a long way from home
