Hi! This is my first tab, so go easy on me. :P There is a more accurate version of this
on capo 3, but this one is easier to play and sounds about the same. If you want the
to the chords, just listen to the song, or you can send me a message and I can give you 
the details. Have fun!

Capo = 5

Gsus2           Gsus4       Gsus2 Gsus4
My friends from high school
Gsus2         Gsus4                  Gsus2 Gsus4
Married their high school boyfriends
Gsus2      Gsus4  Gsus2 Gsus4
Moved into houses
       Gsus2    Gsus4
In the same ZIP codes
Gsus2       Gsus4
Where their parents live


    Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
But I, I could never follow
   Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
No I, I could never follow


Gsus2     Gsus4   Gsus2 Gsus4
I hit the highway
     Gsus2 Gsus4  Gsus2        Gsus4
In a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Gsus2        Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
Lived like a gypsy
Gsus2      Gsus4        Gsus2    Gsus4
Six strong hands on the steering wheel


            Em   D    Cadd9 G
I've been a long time gone now
      Em       D                Cadd9   G
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
         Em     D        Cadd9   G
But I've always found my way somehow


   Em         D        Cadd9 G
By taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around


        Gsus2        Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
Met the queen of whatever
Gsus2          Gsus4  Gsus2           Gsus4
Drank with the Irish, smoked with the hippies
Gsus2          Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
Moved with the shakers
         Gsus2        Gsus4           Gsus2   Gsus4
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to


   Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
No I, I could never follow
   Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
No I, I could never follow


         Em  D    Cadd9 G
Its been two long years now
          Em         D          Cadd9    G
Since the top of the world came crashing down
        Em         D           Cadd9 G
And I'm getting it back on the road now


        Em         D        Cadd9 G
But I'm taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around
    D
The long
Cadd9
The long way around

G
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
G
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
G
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
G
Guess I could have made it easier on myself


    Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
But I, I could never follow
   Em               Gsus2 Gsus4 Gsus2 Gsus4
No I, I could never follow


        Em            D          Cadd9   G
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
      Em       D                Cadd9   G
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
       Em           D             Cadd9    G
If you ever want to find me I can still be found


Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way
Em         D        Cadd9 G
Taking the long way around
