G D C
We're taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)
[Verse 1]
G
Take me back to the middle of nowhere
D
Back to the place only you and I share
Em D
Remember all the memories
C
The fireflies and make believe
G
Kicking back at the old school yard
D
Singing songs on our guitars
Em D
This is our reality
C
Crazy stupid you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em* D* C*
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
G D C
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
G D C
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
G D
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
G C
Talkin' about nothing yeah whatever baby
G D C
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
Tonight
[Verse 2]
G
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
D
Yeah, you know we took our time to get there
Em D
Hiding out in a dream
C
Catching fire like kerosene (kerosene)
G
And you know I'd never let you down
D
'Til the sun comes up
We can own this town
Em D
Something like make believe
C
Living in a movie scene
[Pre-Chorus]
Em* D* C*
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
G D C
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
G D C
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
G D
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
G D
Talkin' about nothing yeah whatever baby
G D C
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
[Bridge]

Kissing at the stop signs darling
Em** D** C** G** D**
Green Day's on the radio

Now we're turning up the headlights darling
Em** D** C
We're just taking it slow
[Chorus]
G* D* C*

So we're taking the long way home
[Bridge]
Em** D** C**
Hitting every red light

Kissing at the stop signs darling
Em** D** C** G** D**
Green Day's on the radio
