[A] [E]
[F#m] [D]
[A] Let's take a long way, cause [E] I like the view.
[F#m] Go by the shoreline, [D] look at the moon.
[A] Take a long way, walk [E] the sunrise.
[F#m] Listen to the radio [D] all through the night.
The [A] rain can't dampen us, until I've [E] gone through.
[F#m] Until the sun shines on us, dry [D] as I've been dew.
[A] Let's take a long way, cause [E] I like the view.
[F#m] Go by the shoreline, [D] look at the moon.
[A] Suddenly [E] walked the [F#m] silence, and [D] sprawled my back.
[A] I'm seeing things I think [E] are secrets,
[F#m] slowly lost between [D] the past.
[A]
This moment [E] is a [F#m] stardust, it has [D] already passed.
[A] But you were so bright, [E] so bright in my mind.
[F#m] Now I'm [D] only a mess.
[A] Let's take a long way, cause I [E] like the view.
[F#m] Go by the shoreline, look [D]
at the moon.
[A] Take a long way, walk [E] the sunrise.
[F#m] Listen to the radio [D] all through the night.
[A] [E]
[F#m]
[D] [A] Looking for love in all the wrong [E] places.
I guess I got one of those faces [F#m] staring out of the window pane.
[D] Step [A] out into another BC blizzard, [E] into a yellow cab blizzard.
The drivers [F#m] are no wise Somalian wizard, I'm just a young MC party man.
[D] I tell them to take the back roads, head to town.
[A] From the meadow to the ghetto, come equipped to the red light district.
[E] After the performance I did for Nichols and Since.
He said, see [F#m] all you crazy.
I said, it doesn't phase me.
My love's not [D] lazy, I'm here to amaze thee.
Heck you amaze [A] this bitch, I got a brew like Miles Davis.
[E] I walked away without floating around his head to go smile at what I [F#m] just said.
At him lows, at the shows, he wanted to just join.
He [D] says, okay.
I said, alright brother, just leave it in the ashtray.
[A] Commercial success, sex drive.
I lick the honey in [E] the hive, and I can travel fearless.
La-vi-ba-de-lu-ca-do, [F#m] another country drive.
I brush my teeth like cocaine, [D] I paint watercolors like Georgia O'Keeffe.
My [A] graffiti's wax kill, and that's keeping it brief.
[E] Those who got, will get even more.
If you don't waste [A] your gift, you'll [F#m] get another four.
Be a spirit, not a [D] ghost on the west coast.
Listen to Patti Smith, man, I'm the [A] ground chef.
Sundown, Big Sur, the view is killer.
By [E] the open theater, Henry Miller.
[F#m] Don't worry about your final destination, you'll get there [D] soon.
They stare at the stars, they're the children [A] of the sun and the moon.
[E] [F#m]
[D] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[D] Let's [A] check it out, whether you, [E] silent or hear.
We'll [F#m] go by the shoreline, you [D] can't lose.
You [A] take the left way, watch [E] the sunrise.
[F#m] Listen to the radio, [D] all through the night.
[A] Thank you, there's a love, that [E] I want you.
And the [F#m] sun shines on the [D] stars of the moon.
[A] Take the long way, [E] take the view.
[F#m] We'll go by the shoreline, [D] you can't lose.
