[Verse 1]
Cm7                      Bb/C
   So you think you're a Romeo
F/C                    C
   Playing a part in a pictureshow
               Fsus4/C
Well, take the long   way home
         C
Take the long way home
Cm7                             Bb/C
   Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood
F/C                              C
   Why should you care if you're feeling good
               Fsus4/C
Well, take the long   way home
         C
Take the long way home

[Chorus]
Em7                                                 Am     Em/G
   There are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
        F       F6
All the greenery
               Bb F/A
Is comin' down,   boy
G                            Em7
 And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
Am       Em/G
furniture
           F     F6
Oh, it's peculiar
              Bb F/A G7
She used to be   so  nice

[Verse 2]
Cm7                         Bb/C
   When lonely days turn to lonely nights
F/C                       C
   You take a trip to the city lights
             Fsus4/C
And take the long   way home
         C
Take the long way home
Cm7                       Bb/C
   You never see what you wanna see
F/C                       C
   Forever playing to the gallery
             Fsus4/C
You take the long   way home
         C
Take the long way home

[Chorus]
Em7                                            Am      Em/G
   And when you're up on the stage it's so unbelievable
         F       F6
Oh, unforgettable
              Bb F/A
How they adore   you
G                            Em7
 But then your wife seems to think you're losing your
Am    Em/G
sanity
      F     F6
Oh, calamity
           Bb F/A G7
Is there no   way out?
Oh yeah!

[Chorus]
Em7
                                         Am        Em/G
Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?
       F        F6
Oh, it has to be
                Bb F/A G
For you to grow,   boy
                          Em7                    Am
When you look through the years and see what you could have
    Em/G
been
             F              F6
Oh, what you might have been
                Bb F/A  G7
If you would had   more time

[Bridge]
Cm7                         Bb/C       F/C
   So when the day comes to settle down
                         C
Who's to blame if you're not around?
             Fsus4/C
You took the long   way home
             Ab/C
You took the long way home
             F/C
You took the long way home
Do it again
             Fsus4/C
You took the long   way home
             Ab/C
You took the long way home
Oh yah!

You took the long way home

You took the long   way home
