VERSE 1:
A
Well I stumbled in the darkness

A
I'm lost and alone

A
Though I said I'd go before us

A                     F#m
And show the way back home

F#m     D         A
There a light up ahead

A                    D
I can't hold on very long

A                            E                        A
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 2:
A
Money's just something you throw

A
Off the back of a train

A
Got a head full of lightning

A             F#m
A hat full of rain

F#m    D          A
And I know that I said

A                D
I'd never do it again

A                                E                        A
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 3:
A
I put food on the table

A
And roof overhead

A
But I'd trade it all tomorrow

A                 F#m
For the highway instead

F#m        D                         E
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight

A                                    D
Your love's the only thing I've ever known

D             A                  E                        A
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
BRIDGE:
E       A     D     E
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
VERSE 4:
E                   A
You know I love you baby

A
More than the whole wide world

A
You are my woman

A                 F#m
I know you are my pearl

F#m      D                  E
Let's go out past the party lights

      A                  D
Where we can finally be alone

D         A        E                        A
Come with me...and we can take the long way home

A     D              A            E                        A
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home

A     D              A            E                        A
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
