[G] Playing a part in a [D] picture-show.
Take the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] take the [D] long way home.
[Dm7] 'Cause you're the joke of the [C]
[C] neighbourhood,
[G] Why should you care if you're [D] feeling good.
Take the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] take the [D] long way home.
[F#m] But there are times that you [F#m7]
[F#m7] feel you're part of the [Hm] scenery, [Hm7]
All the [G] greenery, [Em] is comin' [C] down, [G] boy.
[A] And then your wife seems to [F#m7]
[F#m7] think you're part of the [Hm] furniture, [Hm7]
Oh, it's pe- [G] -culiar, [Em] she used to [C]
[C] be [G] so [A] nice. [A7]
#2. [Dm7] When lonely days turn to [C] lonely nights,
[G] You take a trip to the [D] city lights.
And take the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] take the [D] long way home.
[Dm7] You never see what you [C] want to see,
[G] Forever playing to the [D] gallery.
You take the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] take the [D] long way home.
[F#m] And when you're up on the [F#m7] stage,
it's so un-[Hm]-believable, [Hm7]
Unfor-[G]-gettable, [Em]
[Em] how they a-[C]-dore [G] you,
[A] But then your wife seems to [F#m7] think
you're losing your [Hm] sanity, [Hm7]
Oh, cal-[G]-amity, is there
[C] no [G] way [A] out? [A7]

#3.
[F#m] Does it feel that your [F#m7] life's become a
cat-[Bm]-astrophe? [Bm7]
Oh, it [G] has to be, [Em] for you to [C]
[C] grow, [G] boy.
[A] When you look through the [F#m7] years
and see what you [Hm] could have been, [Hm7]
Oh, what you [G] might have been, [Em] if you'd [C]
[C] had [G] more [A] time. [A7]
[Dm7] So, when the day comes to [C] settle down,
[G] Who's to blame if you're [D] not around?
You took the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] you took the [D] long way home,
You took the [C] long way home, [G]
[G] you took the [D] long way home.
