Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone though I said I'd go before us
F#m
And show the way back home
D E
There a light up ahead
A D
I can't hold onto very long
A E A
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a handful of lightening
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back if I should tell
your love is the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure sweet baby I always take the long way home
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
I'm your woman
you know you are my pearl
so let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
A E A D
Come with me and we can take the long way home
A E A D
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
A E A D A E A
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
