[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Long black limousine, [B] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ shiniest car I've ever seen
_ _ _ [B] Back seat is nice and clean, _ _ [F#] she rides as quiet as a dream
_ _ _ [C#] Someone dug a hole six [B] long feet [F#] in the ground
[C#] I said goodbye to you [B] and I threw my [F#m] roses down
[C#] Ain't nothing left at all [B] in the end of [F#] being proud
[B] With me riding in this car [F#] and you [C#] flying through them [B] clouds
I've had some time [F#] to think about it [B] _ and watch the sun sink [F#] like a stone
[B] I've had some time [D#m] to think about you [C#] on the _ long [F#] ride home
_ _ _ [B] _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ One day I took your tiny hand, _ put your finger in the wedding band
[B] _
[F#] _ _ [B] Daddy gave you a piece of land, _ _ [F#] made ourselves the best of plans _
_ [C#] Forty years go by with [B] someone laying [F#] in your [C#] bed
Forty years of things you [B] say you wish you'd [F#] never said
How hard would it have [C#] been to [B] say some kinder [F#] words instead
[B] I wonder as I stare [C#] at the sky a-turning [B] red
I've had some time [F#] to think about it [B] _ and watch the sun sink [F#] like a stone
[B] I've had some time to [D#m] think about you [C#] on the _ long [F#] ride home
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Headlights searching [F#] down the driveway, _ [B] the house as dark [C#] as it can be
_ [B] I go inside [F#] and I'm totally silent and it seems as [C#] empty as the inside of _ me
[B] _
I've had some time to [F#] think about [B] it _ and watch the sun sink [F#] like a stone
_ _ [B] I've had some time to [D#m] think about you [C#] on the long, [B] on the long, [C#] on the _ long, [B] on the _ long _ _ _ [F#] ride home _ _ _
