Takin The Long Way Home

E
There's a place at the edge of town>
                       A
Where everybody hangs around
                    B7              E
Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone

E
Sometimes I drop in
                          A
In fact more than now and then
                 B7                  E
Lately I've been takin' the long way home

E
Sometimes she still holds me tight
                            A
And tells me everything's alright
                         B7            E
Even though I know she's already moved on

E
Here I am my friend
                               A
Where I seem to wind up in the end
                   B7                  E
And once again I'm takin' the long way home

       A                       E
It's a long way, long way from here to there
               A                      B7
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care

E
There's really nothin' for me here
                              A
But I guess I'll have another beer
                 B7                      E
And walk on over there and play one more song

E
And when it's time for me to go
                        A
Where I'm going I don't know
                B7                  E
I just know I'm takin' the long way home

       A                       E
It's a long way, long way from here to there
               A                      B7
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care

E
Still sittin' here my friend
                            A
I knew I'd be here till the end
                      B7                  E
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
       A              B7                  A    E
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
