Intro:       G   D    4x


G
I've got a job down at the brewery, so I don't mind taking my work home with me.
C                                                            D         
                      G
You live, you love, you laugh, you cry,   life just slides on by
                 Em                        C                           
            Em                           D
But in my mind I'm playing football in the rain you're standing on the line, calling out 
my name
C                      D                                     G
I close my eyes   nothing ever feels the same



Chorus:


  C                    D            Em                    C
Sometimes I take the long way home I   walk down to the sea
       Em                        D                      C     
     G
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be        oh



I've got a car but I walk most everywhere so I can feel the earth, feel the sun and 
breathe the air
I stop and say hello, no one answers back.
Well I'm doing o.k. I've got friends and family
People to love and people who love me
But I still wish I could see my old town once again



Chorus:
 C                    D              Em                   C
Sometimes I take the long way home I    walk down to the sea
       Em                       D                       C     
   G
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be      oh

End with:    D4  D   D4  D



G
We bar-b-que on Sundays watch the game on channel nine
G
the it's down to the pub for a pint a glass of wine
        C                               D                C    G
sing karaoke to each other   "He ain't heavy... he's my brother"


Chorus: 2x
  C                   D             Em                   C
Sometimes I take the long way home I  walk down to the sea
        Em                       D                       C    
  G
I look out across the water and remember how it used to be     oh
