Bb
Well I stumbled in the darkness
Bb
I'm lost and alone
Bb
Though I said I'd go before us
Bb                    Gm
And show the way back home
Gm      Eb        Bb
There a light up ahead
Bb                   Eb   /D
I can't hold on very long
Bb                           F/A                      Bb
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home


VERSE 2:
Bb
Money's just something you throw
Bb
Off the back of a train
Bb
Got a head full of lightning
Bb            Gm
A hat full of rain
Gm    Eb          Bb
And I know that I said
Bb              Eb      /D
I'd never do it again
Bb                               F/A                      Bb
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home


VERSE 3:
Bb
I put food on the table
Bb
And roof overhead
Bb
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
Bb                Gm
For the highway instead
Gm         Eb                        F                  
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
Bb                                   Eb
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
Eb/D          Bb                 F/A                      Bb
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home


BRIDGE:
F/A     Bb     Eb     F
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm


VERSE 4:
F                   Bb
You know I love you baby
Bb
More than the whole wide world
Bb
You are my woman
Bb                Gm
I know you are my pearl
Gm       Eb                 F
Let's go out past the party lights
      Bb                 Eb
Where we can finally be alone
Eb/D      Bb     F/A                      Bb
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Bb    Eb             Bb           F/A                      Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
Bb    Eb             Bb           F/A                      Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
