G C G D


[Verse 1]
        G                               C
Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty
 G                                       D       
Wondering around this midnight mad house city
           G                            C     
You got a look that says you got it all together
          G                               D
So if you don't mind I'd like to know you better


[Chorus]
             G                   C
Take me the long way around your town
             G                       D
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
           Em                    D
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath
        C         
Of the diamond I think I just found
            G             C   G   D
Take me the long way around


[Verse 2]
            G                                  C
I'd love to see just where your daddy met your momma
     G                  D       
Your hand-me-down '99 Impala
            G                               C
Show me the field you danced in Clover, The harvest in October
         Em                                   D
When the leaves fall from the sky just like a Sunday drive


[Chorus]
             G                   C
Take me the long way around your town
             G                       D
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
           Em                    D
I want the secrets you keep, the shine underneath
        C         
Of the diamond I think I just found
            G             C   G   D
Take me the long way around


[Bridge]
G                                  C
Didn't think tonight when I walked in
       G                                D
I'd be falling for somewhere I've never been


[Chorus]
             G                   C
Take me the long way around your town
             G                       D
Were you the queen with the silver crown?
             Em                        D
I want your red blushing stories. Your faults and your glories
      C
That made you who you are right now
              G           C  G
Take me the long way around
 C            G           C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G
Take me the long way around
