Long Way Home

D  A  D  A  D  A  E


[Verse 1]
A                                   D       A
Nine times out of ten, I'll take my own cab home
  A                                      D      A   E
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
    F#m            D          A         F#m
But when I feel as high as my soul does low
    D                        E
The angel on my shoulder dares to show


[Chorus]
           A
I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D     A       E
After all you put me through


[Verse 2]
A                       D      A
Love is just a liar by another name
A                             D         A   E
Lust is just a fire I've been tryin' to tame
  F#m          D                  A       F#m
I fuel it if I must, but keep the heat contained
         D                               E
It's the winds inside my heart that fan my flame


[Chorus]
           A
I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D     A       E
After all you put me through
                 A
Yeah, I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D               A                 E
Where I haven't gone is where you led me to


[Bridge]
Bm                D                        A               E                 Bm
  Out here on this dark road, I'm not even sure if I wanna make it to my door
Bm                D                      A                E
  Lately, it don't keep the peace that I need to sleep anymore


[Instrumental]
A   D A  D A  E


[Verse 3]
A                                    D      A
Nine times out of ten, I'll write my number wrong
A                               D      A     E
If I wasn't lonesome, how would I stay strong?
F#m               D           A        F#m
When depression's dark as the night is long
  D                            E
A pair of arms becomes where I belong


[Chorus]
           A
I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D     A       E
After all you put me through
                 A
Yeah, I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D     A       E
After all you put me through
               A
And I take the long way home
           D        A
I take the long way home
D              A                E
What I haven't done is what you made me do


[Outro]
A                                   D       A
Nine times out of ten, I'll take my own cab home
  A                                      D      A
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
