Takin' The Long Way Home

Key: E

Introduction:

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
Break
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
