Intro

B5 A5 G5 A5 x2

B5                             A5
Early in the morning, about a quarter to four
G5                    A5
Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door 
E5                             D5
We're heading for the car and we got right in
B5                             A5
And that's when I noticed the shape she was in
E5
She turned to me and said right out
B5                      A5
Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about

Chorus
D5                 A5     E5
Take the long way home   
D5                 A5     E5 
Take the long way home     Make this night last

B5 A5 G5 A5

B5                           A5
Well we drove down town and up in the woods
G5                               A5
We drove around and around till I understood
E5                        D5
I was holding the wheel, she was making out
B5                        A5
And all this time I was driving about
E5
She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck
B5                              A5
And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck

Repeat Chorus

Solo Break

B5 A5 G5 A5 x8

B5                               A5
I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise
          G5                  A5
There was two big red lights shining in my eyes
E5                  D5
I pull over and he drove alongside
    B5                  A5
And out of his car and up to my right
E5
He looked at her and she looked at him
B5                               A5
And the next thing I noticed he got right in
