D G
Bm A G
So we're taking the long way home
[Verse 1]
D
Take me back to the middle of nowhere
G
Back to the place only you and I share
Bm A
Remember all the memories
G
The fireflies and make believe
D
Kicking back at the old school yard
G
Singing songs on our guitars
Bm A
This is our reality
G
Crazy, stupid you and me
Bm A G
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
D A G
So we're taking the long way home
D A G
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
D A
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Bm G
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby
D A G
So we're taking the long way home
D
(Tonight)
D A
Ohhh oooo oooo
G D
We're taking the long way (home)
D A
Ohhh oooo oooo
[Verse 2]
D
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
G
Yeah you know we took our time to get there
Bm A
We're hiding out in a dream
G
Catching fire like kerosene
D
And you know I'd never let you down
G
'Til the sun comes up
We can own this town
Bm A
Something like make believe
G
Living in a movie scene
Bm A G
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
D A G
So we're taking the long way home
D A G
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
D A
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Bm G
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby
D A G
So we're taking the long way home
[Bridge]
Bm A
Hitting every red light
G D
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Bm A G
Green Day's on the radio
Bm A
And everything is alright
G D
Now we're turning off the headlights darling
Bm A G
We're just taking it slow
(* = STRUM ONLY ONCE)
