G
We come this far and we can't turn back,
C
This trains run out of track,
G                                D
Seems like there ain't no use in tryin'
G
Now I'm not one to abandon hope,
C
But this might be all she wrote,
G                          D             G
Our destination fades like smoke in the sky.

Em
And we come this far and it's still the same,
C
Standin' out here in the rain,
G                                    D  
Just one more mile if only you could fly.

Chorus:
G
Ah, here we are east of Eden,
C
So close you can taste the freedom ,
G                         D    
Freedom like you've never known.
G
Ah, east of Eden in the promised land,
C
Just a castle made of sand,
G                     D                 G
Ah, don't it make you wish you could go home.
G                     D                 G
Ah, don't it make you wish you could go home.

And all this time we kept our dream ,
Nothin' ever came between,
Finally, we were standin' at the gate.
Ah, the gate is closed and there's a wall,
Never thought it would be so tall,
Just a piece of paper seals your fate.

Any child could feel the pain,
But the high and mighty have no shame,
Where you are is where you must remain.

Chorus
