[Intro] Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A [Verse]
Asus2           A            Asus2    A
My friends from high school

Asus2         A           Asus2 A
Married their high school boyfriends

Asus2      A       Asus2    A
Moved into houses

       Asus2    A                 Asus2    A
In the same ZIP codes where their parents live

    F#m              Asus2    A     Asus2    A
But I, I could never follow

   F#m              Asus2    A     Asus2    A
No I, I could never follow

Asus2     A       Asus2    A
I hit the highway

     Asus2 A      Asus2        A
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling

Asus2        A     Asus2    A
Lived like a gypsy

Asus2      A            Asus2    A
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
[Chorus]
            F#m  E    Dsus2  A
I've been a long time gone   now

      F#m      E                Dsus2    A
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle  down

         F#m    E        Dsus2   A
But I've always found my way somehow

   F#m        E        Dsus2    A
By taking the long way

F#m        E           Dsus2   A
Taking the long way around

F#m        E     Dsus2    A
Taking the long way

F#m        E          Dsus2       
Taking the long way around
Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A [Verse]
           Asus2   A   Asus2   A
I met the queen of whatever

Asus2          A         Asus2           A
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies

Asus2          A         Asus2    A
Moved with the shakers

         Asus2        A               Asus2   A
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

   F#m              Asus2   Asus2    A
No I, I could never follow

      F#m           E
No I, I could never follow
[Chorus]
          F#  E    Dsus2  A
It's been two long years  now

          F#m        E          Dsus2    A
Since the top of the world came crashing down

        F#m        E           Dsus2    A
And I'm gettin' it back on the road     now

        F#m        E        Dsus2  A
But I’m taking the long way

F#m        E            Dsus2   A
Taking the long way around

    F#m        E      Dsus2   A
I’m taking the long way

    F#m        E           Dsus2          E
I’m taking the long way around

    Dsus2                           E
Oh, I just take my time I won't lay down

    Dsus2              F#m     E    Dsus2    A
And take the long way 'round    
F#m E Dsus2 A (repeat X2) F#m E Dsus2 [Verse]
        Asus2         A              Asus2   A
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself

  Asus2     A           Asus2   A
I opened my mouth and I heard myself

       Asus2      A               Asus2    A
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself

        Asus2              A      Asus2   A
Guess I could have made it easier on    myself

    F#m              Asus2    A     Asus2    A 
But I, I could never follow

   F#m              E 
No I, I could never follow
[Chorus]
        F#m           E          Dsus2   A
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else

      F#m      E                Dsus2   A
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down

       F#m          E             Dsus2    A
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

F#m        E        Dsus2       A
Taking the long way

F#m        E           Dsus2     A
Taking the long way around

F#m        E        Dsus2      A
Taking the long way
Repeat a few more times [End on:] F#m E Dsus2 A
