           A#
I’m seeing pink skies and cable cars
I’m seeing flower bouquets In big round jars
           G#
I’m seeing happy I’m seeing dancing
I’m seeing problems dissolve you can’t imagine
           A#
I'm seeing you now and you’re so happy now
God it feels so good to to see you laugh out loud
              G#
And I’m there smiling cause what a timing
         G#
I didn’t think we’d make it out

        A#
What a long long road it’s been
                           G#
What a long long road it's been

Chorus:
                            A#
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down, came around
                            G#
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
                             A#
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down, came around
                             G#
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
I'm on the other side of it now

Seeing streetlights and colored walls
I'm seeing long talks we couldn't have before
I'm seeing happy, I'm seeing clarity
I'm seeing all of the things that I used to be

What a long, long road it's been (It's been)
What a long, long road it's been

Chorus:
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down, came around
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down, came around
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
I'm on the other side of it now

      A#
It’s hard sometimes when you’re losing the track
It's harder when you keep tryna fight It back
        G#
Oh I thought it would be impossible
Yea it seemed to me so impossible
      A#
It’s hard sometimes when you’re losing the track
It’s harder when you keep tryna fight it back
       G#
Oh I thought it would be impossible oooh

Chorus:
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down (Lookin' down), came around
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
I'm on the other side of it now
Lookin' down (Lookin' down), came around
I'm on the other side of it now
And you're there callin' out
I'm on the other side of it now
