My friends from high school

Married their high school boyfriends

Moved into houses

       F        C                 F       C
In the same ZIP codes where their parents live

   Am                F       C       F       C
But I, I could never follow

   Am               F       C       F       C
No I, I could never follow

F         C        F        C
I hit the highway

     F     C      F            C
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling

Lived like a gypsy

F          C            F        C
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

            Am   G    F    C
I've been a long time gone now

      Am       G                 F      C
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down

         Am     G        F       C
But I've always found my way somehow

   Am         G         F        C
By taking the long way

Am         G         F         C
Taking the long way around

Am         G         F         C
Taking the long way

Am         G         F
Taking the long way around

          F        C        F        C
I met the queen of whatever

F              C         F               C
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies

F              C         F         C
Moved with the shakers

         F            C               F       C
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

   Am               F       C       F       C
No I, I could never follow

   Am               G
No I, I could never follow

          Am  G    F     C
It's been two long years now

          Am         G          F        C
Since the top of the world came crashing down

        Am         G           F    C
And I'm gettin' it back on the road now

        Am         G        F        C
But I'm taking the long way

Am         G        F        C
Taking the long way around

    Am         G        F        C
I'm taking the long way

    Am         G        F
I'm taking the long way around

G   F                               G
Oh, I just take my time I won't lay down

    F
And take the long way 'round

        F             C              F     C
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself

  F         C           F       C
I opened my mouth and I heard myself

       F          C               F        C
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself

F                  C              F    C
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

   Am                F       C       F       C
But I, I could never follow

   Am               G
No I, I could never follow

        Am            G          F       C
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else

      Am       G                 F      C
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down

       Am           G             F        C
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Am         G        F       C
Taking the long way

Am         G        F       C
Taking the long way around

Am         G        F       C
Taking the long way
