Lyrics

[Verse 1]
G5        G5
  Well, I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
                      Em7
And show the way back home
                Cadd9         D5
Is there a light     up ahead?
  G5                     Cadd9
I can't hold on very long
       G5
Forgive  me, pretty baby
      D5                       G5
But I always take the long way home

[Verse 2]
             G5
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
I got a handful of lightening
                 Em7
And head full of rain
      Cadd9       D5
And I know that I said
G5                   Cadd9
I'd never do it again
               G5
Oh well, I love  you, sweet baby
    D                          G5
But I always take the long way home

[Verse 3]
      G5
I put food on the table
And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
                   Em7
For that highway instead
           Cadd9                 D5
Watch your back, if I should tell
    G5                              Cadd9
And love's the only thing I've ever known
                G5
One thing's for sure, sweet baby
  D                        G5
I always take the long way home

[Interlude]
D Cadd9 G5 Cadd9 D
                  Though I love you,
G5
baby

[Verse 4]
More than the whole wide world
I'm your woman
                     Em7
You know, you are my pearl
               Cadd9                     D5
So let's go out     past the party lights
      G5                     Cadd9
Where we can finally be alone
          G5
Come with me
D                        G5        Cadd9
We can take the long way home (mmm mmm) 

[Chorus]
Come with me
         D                        G5        Cadd9
Together we can take the long way home (Mmmmmm)
Come with me
         D                        G5
Together we can take the long way home
