Verse 1

  D Em7           D Em7            D Em7          D Em7      

I waited half my life to be right here today

  D Em7           D Em7            G                    A      

Woulda’ been here earlier but sin stood in my way

  D Em7           D Em7     D Em7          D Em7      

What was I thinking chasing silly dreams

  D Em7           D Em7                              

Found out that none of them

       G                         A            D Em7   D Em7

was quite what they all seemed

C                                  G                           D  

But now I’m back on the path less shoveled again

C                                 G                          A  

I’m stayin’ here for the rest of my days, amen!

Chorus:

D                            Am7

I’m flying along on heavenly wings

C                             G

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

D                            Am7

I’m doing His will and it’s such a thrill

C                               G

But it took me a while to get here

D                            Am7

Breathing the air of a dream I’ve had there

 C                              G

Living the life I was made for

D                            Am7

Always inside me with a need to get out

C                                   G         D Em7  D Em

But it took me a while to get here

Verse 2

  D Em7           D Em7           D Em7          D Em7      

Take a look at life and tell me what it is you see

  D Em7           D Em7            G                    A      

Is this the place you always figured that you’d be?

  D Em7           D Em7            D Em7          D Em7      

Slip over to the right seat and let your Master drive

  D Em7           D Em7            G                    A      

Breathe in His fresh air, be happy you’re alive

C                                  G                       D  

Thank you God that I don’t have what I deserve

C                                 G             A  

Jesus Christ is the only one that I serve

Chorus:

D                            Am7

I’m flying along on heavenly wings

C                             G

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

D                            Am7

I’m doing His will and it’s such a thrill

C                               G

But it took me a while to get here

D                            Am7

Breathing the air of a dream I’ve had there

 C                              G

Living the life I was made for

D                            Am7

Always inside me with a need to get out

C                                   G         D Em7  D Em

But it took me a while to get here

Bridge

I really wish that it hadn’t taken all of these years

Cause its sure a blessing to have ya’ll
                 A
sittin’ right here

G                          D

God’s got place for you

God’s got place you’ll see

I really would like to have you

    A

Sailing along with me

As we’re…

Chorus:

D                            Am7

…Flying along on heavenly wings

C                             G

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

D                            Am7

We’re doing His will and it’s such a thrill

C                               G

But it took us a while to get here

D                            Am7

Breathing the air of a dream we’ve had there

                               G

Living the life we were made for

D                            Am7

Always inside us with a need to get out

C                                   G         D Em7  D Em

But it took us a while to get here
