[Am7] [G] \ [A] [D] \ [A] [A] [G] \ [A] [A] 2x
[Am] [G]
So you think you're a Romeo,
[D] [A]
Playing a part in a picture-show?
[G]
Take the long way home
[A]
Take the long way home
[Am] [G]
Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
[D] [A]
Why should you care if you're feeling good?
[G]
Take the long way home
[A]
Take the long way home
[C#m] [F#m]
But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
[E] [D] [G] [F#m] [E]
All the greenery, is coming down, boy
[C#m]
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
[F#m] [E] [D] [G] [D] [E]
Furniture, oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.
[Am] [G]
When lonely days turn to lonely nights,
[D] [A]
You take a trip to the city lights?
[G]
And take the long way home
[A]
Take the long way home
[Am] [G]
You never see what you want to see,
[D] [A]
Forever playing to the gallery
[G]
You take the long way home
[A]
Take the long way home
[C#m] [F#m] [E]
And when you re up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
[D] [G] [F#m] [E]
Unforgettable, how they adore you,
[C#m] [F#m] [E]
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
[D] [G] [D] [E]
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?
[C] [G] [D] [A] [G] \ [A] [A] 2x
[C#m] [F#m] [E]
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
[D] [G] [F#m] [E]
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
[C#m] [F#m] [E]
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
[D] [G] [D] [E]
Oh, what might have been, If you'd had more time.
[Am] [G]
So, when the day comes to settle down,
[D] [A]
Who's to blame if you're not around?
[G]
You took the long way home
[F]
You took the long way home
[D]
You took the long way home
[G]
You took the long way home
[F]
You took the long way home
[D]
You took the long way home
[G]
You took the long way home
[D]
You took the long way home
