[Bb] [F]
I'm lost and [Bb] [F] alone.
I said I'd go before us, show the way [Gm] back home.
There [Eb] are a lot [Bb] of ways you can't go wrong.
You [Bb] give me pretty, baby, [F] but I always take the long [Bb] way home.
Money's just something you throw off the back of a train.
[F] Gotta head for a lightning and hide for [Gm] a rain.
And [Eb] I know that [F] I said I'd never do [Eb] it again.
[Bb] I love you pretty, baby, [F] but I always take the [Bb] long way home.
I put food on the table and a roof overhead.
[F] But I trade it all tomorrow for [Bb] the highway [G] instead.
Watch your back and [F] pass your tape.
[Bb] Love's the only thing [Eb] I'll ever know.
One [Bb] thing for sure, pretty baby, [F] I always take the long [Bb] way home.
[F]
[Bb] Mmm, [Eb]
mmm, [F] I [Bb] love you, baby.
More than a whole wide world.
You are my woman.
I know you are [Gm] my pearl.
Let's [Eb] go out past the party [F] lights.
[Bb] We can finally be [Eb] alone.
Come [Bb] with me [F] and we can take the long [Bb] way home.
Mmm, [Eb] mmm, come [Bb] with me.
Together [F] we can take the long [Bbm] way home.
Mmm, [Eb] mmm, come [Bb] with me.
Together [F] we can take the long [Bb] way home.
