[C] [C] [C] [C]
Well I [C] stumbled in the [C] darkness
I'm [C] lost and a-[C]lone
Though I said I'd go be-[C]fore us… [C]
And [C] show the [Cmaj7] way back [Am] home [Am]
Is there a [F] light up a-[G]head
I [C] can't hold on very [F] long [F]
[C] Forgive me pretty baby but I [G] always take the long way [C] home [C] {stop}
{c: }
Money's just [C] something you [C] throw
Off the [C] back of a [C] train
Got a head full of [C] lightning… [C]
A [C] hat full [Cmaj7] of [Am] rain [Am]
And I [F] know that I [G] said
[C] I'd never do it [F] again [F]
And I [C] love you pretty baby but I [G] always take the long way [C] home [C]
{c: }
I put [C] food on the [C] table
And a [C] roof over-[C] head
But I'd trade it all to-[C]morrow… [C]
For the [C] highway [Cmaj7] in-[Am]stead [Am]
Watch your [F] back, if I should [G] tell you
[C] Love's the only thing I've ever [F] known [F]
One thing for [C] sure pretty baby I [G] always take the long way [C] home
{c: }
[G]mmm, [G]mmm, [F]mmm, [C]mmm, [F]mmm, [F]mmm, [G]mmm, [G]
You know I love you [C] baby…. [C], more than the whole wide [C] world
[C] You are my [C] woman
I [C] know you are [Cmaj7] my [Am] pearl [Am]
Let's go [F] out past the party [G] lights
Where we can [C] finally be [F] alone [F]
Come with [C] me……...and [G] we can take the long way [C] home, mmm
[F] mmm, come with [C] me,
together [G] we can take the long way [C] home, mmm
[F] mmm, come with [C] me,
together, [G] we can take the long way [C] home [C]
[F][G][C] [C]
