VERSE 1:
A
Well I stumbled in the darkness
A
I'm lost and alone
A
Though I said I'd go before us
A		      F#m
And show the way back home
F#m	D	  A
There a light up ahead
A		     D	  
I can't hold on very long
A			     E  		      A
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home


VERSE 2:
A
Money's just something you throw
A
Off the back of a train
A
Got a head full of lightning
A	      F#m
A hat full of rain
F#m    D	  A
And I know that I said
A		D	
I'd never do it again
A				 E			  A
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
 

VERSE 3:
A
I put food on the table
A
And roof overhead
A
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
A		  F#m
For the highway instead
F#m	   D			     E			
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
A				     D
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
D	      A		         E			  A
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home


BRIDGE:
E	A     D     E
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm


VERSE 4:
E		    A
You know I love you baby
A
More than the whole wide world
A
You are my woman
A		  F#m
I know you are my pearl
F#m	 D		    E
Let's go out past the party lights
      A		         D
Where we can finally be alone
D         A	   E			    A
Come with me...and we can take the long way home
A     D	             A		  E 			   A
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
A     D	             A		  E			   A
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
