xLONG WAY HOME
-tom waits
VERSE 1:
Bb
Well I stumbled in the darkness
Bb
I'm lost and alone
Bb
Though I said I'd go before us
Bb Gm
And show the way back home
Gm Eb Bb
There a light up ahead
Bb Eb /D
I can't hold on very long
Bb F/A Bb
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 2:
Bb
Money's just something you throw
Bb
Off the back of a train
Bb
Got a head full of lightning
Bb Gm
A hat full of rain
Gm Eb Bb
And I know that I said
Bb Eb /D
I'd never do it again
Bb F/A Bb
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 3:
Bb
I put food on the table
Bb
And roof overhead
Bb
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
Bb Gm
For the highway instead
Gm Eb F
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
Bb Eb
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
Eb/D Bb F/A Bb
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
BRIDGE:
F/A Bb Eb F
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
VERSE 4:
F Bb
You know I love you baby
Bb
More than the whole wide world
Bb
You are my woman
Bb Gm
I know you are my pearl
Gm Eb F
Let's go out past the party lights
Bb Eb
Where we can finally be alone
Eb/D Bb F/A Bb
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Bb Eb Bb F/A Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
Bb Eb Bb F/A Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
