Key of Intro: Take the long way home, she won't wait up tonight I can take the long way home and there won't be any fight Tonight I can stay out late with the boys, Play cards and come in at dawn Since she left me I've got a choice, I can take the long way home No pictures on the wall, no carpet on the floor Noone ever calls, noone knocks on my door It's just a place where I sleep at night But I can't sleep alone Think I'll stop off and have a bite, and take the long way home. What makes a house a home is sometimes hard to say You never know all the riches you own til someone takes them away solo: |----------------------------------------------------------- |-12----------12--------------------------12-13-12---------- |----12-14-14----12-11-12-11-----------12----------12------- |----------------------------12-14--12----------------14-12- |----------------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------12-12--12-15-17-19-19---- |-12-13-15--12-13-15--12-13-15--12-13-----------------------15- |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------------------------- |-19-19-------------12- |-------14-14-16-16---- |---------------------- |---------------------- |---------------------- |---------------------- The night is clear and my work is through, it's a shame to be alone Think I'll go have a beer or two, I'll take the long way home I'll just take the long way home.
