[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
