capo on 2nd

VERSE 1:
[ch]G[/ch]
Well I stumbled in the darkness

I'm lost and alone
[ch]G[/ch]
Though I said I'd go before us
		      [ch]Em[/ch]
And show the way back home
	[ch]C[/ch]	  [ch]G[/ch]
There a light up ahead
		     [ch]C[/ch]	  
I can't hold on very long
[ch]G[/ch]			     [ch]D[/ch] 		              [ch]G[/ch]
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home


Pause
             [ch]G[/ch]
Money's just something you throw

Off the back of a train
[ch]G[/ch]
Got a head full of lightning
	      [ch]Em[/ch]
A hat full of rain
      [ch]C[/ch]	          [ch]G[/ch]
And I know that I said
		[ch]C[/ch]	
I'd never do it again
[ch]G[/ch]				 [ch]D[/ch]			  [ch]G[/ch]
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
 

VERSE 3:
[ch]G[/ch]
I put food on the table

And roof overhead
[ch]G[/ch]
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
		 [ch]Em[/ch]
For the highway instead
 	   [ch]C[/ch]			     [ch]G[/ch]			
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
				     [ch]C[/ch]
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
 	      [ch]G[/ch]		         [ch]D[/ch]			  [ch]G[/ch]
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home


BRIDGE:
[ch]D[/ch]	[ch]C[/ch]     [ch]G[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]D[/ch]
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm


VERSE 4:
[ch]G[/ch]		    
You know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world
[ch]G[/ch]
You are my woman
		  [ch]Em[/ch]
I know you are my pearl
	 [ch]C[/ch]		    [ch]G[/ch]
Let's go out past the party lights
       	                [ch]C[/ch]
Where we can finally be alone
          [ch]G[/ch]	   [ch]D[/ch]			    [ch]G[/ch]
Come with me...and we can take the long way home
      [ch]C[/ch]	             [ch]G[/ch]		  [ch]D[/ch] 			   [ch]G[/ch]
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
      [ch]C[/ch]	             [ch]G[/ch]		  [ch]D[/ch]			   [ch]G[/ch]
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
