[Verse 1]

A

Well I stumbled in the darkness

I'm lost and alone

Though I said I'd go before us

F#m

And show the way back home

D E

Is there a light up ahead

A D

I can't hold onto very long

A E E/F# E/G# A

Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

[Verse 2]

A

Money's just something you throw

Off the back of a train

Got a handful of lightening

F#m

A hat full of rain

D E

And I know that I said

A D

I'd never do it again

A E E/F# E/G# A

And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

[Instrumental]

E D A D E

[Verse 3]

I put food on the table

And roof overhead

But I'd trade it all tomorrow

For The highway instead

Watch your back if I should tell you

Loves the only thing I've ever known

One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

[Verse 4]

You know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world

I'm your woman

You know you are my pearl

Let's go out past the party lights

We can finally be alone

Come with me and we can take the long way home

Come with me, together we can take the long way home

Come with me, together we can take the long way home
