Going about my usual day, I had no idea 
D7                                    G          G7
Cupid and friends had other plans for me, now i see

And so, before I call it a day 
Gsus4       G              Asus4   A
I'm making stops along the way 
             C7
Well I'll be laughing with the moon in sea of delight 
F                              Cdim
and thinking every little bitty star in sight 
     C A        D        G    C
When I take the long way home tonight 

I'll take the long way home tonight 
Please don't wait up I'll be alright 
Going about my usual day, I had no idea 
Cupid and friends had other plans for me, now i see 
And so, first, before this day is through I've got some things I've gotta do Well 
I'll be laughing with the moon in sea of delight 
and thanking every little bitty star in sight 
When I, take the long way home tonight                                   
Well I'll be winking to the wise owl who always knew 
And babbling with the brook about my love for you 
When I, take the long way home tonight, tonight 
When I, take the long way home tonight
