Long Way Home Chords by Tom Waits

_ Oh, I'm telling people. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and [Bb] [F] alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way [Gm] back home
There [Eb] are a lot of [Bb] ways
I can't hold on very [Eb]
long
_ Forgive me [F] pretty baby
But I always take the long [Bb] way home
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a [F] train
Got a head for a lightning
[Bb] _
And a hat for [Gm] a rain
And [Eb] I know that [Bb] I've 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 over head
But I trade it all [F] tomorrow
For the highway [G] instead
Watch your back, you [F] pass your time
[Bb] Love's the only [Eb] thing I've ever known
_ [Bb] One thing for sure pretty [F] baby
I always take the [Bb] long way home
_ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] But baby
_ _ More than the whole wide world
You were my woman
_ You know you were [Gm] my pearl
_ [Eb] Let's go out past the party lights
[Bb] 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] Come [Bb] with me
[F] Together we can take the [Bb] long way home
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
