[Bb] [F]
I'm lost and alone.
Oh, I see that go before us.
[Bb] Show the way back [Gm] home.
[Eb] There are a [Bb] lot of ways.
I can't [Eb] hold on very long.
[Bb] Forgive me pretty [F] baby, but I always take the wrong road.
Take [Bb] the long way home.
Money's just something you throw off the back of a train.

The [Gm] highway isn't scary.
Watch your back, you [F] pass your time.
[Bb] [Eb] I love [Bb] you pretty [F] baby, but I always take the [Bb] long way home.
[F] You are my [Bb] woman.
[Eb]
Baby, [F] [Bb]
more than a white woman.
You are my woman.
You are [Gm] my pearl.
[Eb] Let's go out past the [F] party lights.
We can finally [Eb] be alone.
[Bb] Come with me [F] and we can take the [Bb] long way home.
[Eb] [Bb] Come with me together.
[F] We can take the [Bb] long way home.
[Eb] [Bb] Come with me together.
