Intro: x2

Eb Bb

So you think you're a Romeo,

F C

Playing a part in a picture-show.

Bb F C

Take the long way home, take the long way home.

Eb Bb

'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood,

F C

Why should you care if you're feeling good.

Bb F C

Take the long way home, take the long way home.

Em Em7 Am Am7

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery,

F Dm Bb F

All the greenery, is comin' down, boy.

G Em7 Am Am7

And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture,

F Dm Bb F G

Oh, it's pe- culiar, she used to be so nice.

Eb Bb

When lonely days turn to lonely nights,

F C

You take a trip to the city lights.

Bb F C

And take the long way home, take the long way home.

Eb Bb

You never see what you want to see,

F C

Forever playing to the gallery.

Bb F C

You take the long way home, take the long way home.

Em Em7 Am Am7

And when you're up on the stage, it's so un- believable,

F Dm Bb F

Unfor- gettable, how they a- dore you,

G Em7 Am Am7

But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,

F Bb F G

Oh, cal- amity, is there no way out?

Solo: (Intro)

Em Em7 Am Am7

Does it feel that your life's become a cat- astrophe?

F Dm Bb F

Oh, it has to be, for you to grow, boy.

G Em7 Am Am7

When you look through the years and see what you could have been,

F Dm Bb F G

Oh, what you might have been, if you'd had more time.

Eb Bb

So, when the day comes to settle down,

F C

Who's to blame if you're not around?

Bb F C

You took the long way home, you took the long way home,

Bb F C

You took the long way home, you took the long way home. (repeat & fade)
