A5 (x2)

        A5
Well, I stumbled in the darkness - I'm lost and alone
                     A5                               F#5
Though I said I'd go before us and show the way back home
          D5        E5        A5                 D5
There's a light up ahead, I can't hold on any more
   A5                          E5                        A5
Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home

Money's just something you throw off the back of a train

Got a head full of lightening - a handful of rain

And I know that I said I'd never do it again

And I love you pretty baby, but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table and a roof overhead

But I'd trade it all tomorrow for the highway instead

Watch your back if I should tell, love's the only thing I'd ever known

One thing for sure pretty baby, I always take the long way home


E5  D5  A5  D5  E5


You know I love you baby more than the whole wide world

I'm your woman - I know you are my pearl

Let's go out past the party lights and we can finally be alone
          A5       E5                        A5    D5
Come with me, and we can take the long way home

Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
