[G]Take[D] the [Em]long [C]way hom[D]e, she won't wait up tonight
I can [G]ta[D]ke[Em] the [C]long [D]way home and there won't be any fight
T[Em]oni[G]ght I can stay out late with the boys,
Play [C]card[G]s [D]and[C] c[D]om[G]e in at dawn
[G]Sinc[D]e sh[Em]e lef[C]t me I[D]'ve got[G] a choice, I can take the long way home
[C] [D] [G]No[D] p[Em]icture[C]s [D]on the wall, no carpet on the floor
[G]No[D]one [Em]ever [C]calls, [D]noone knocks on my door
[Em]It's [G]just a place where I sleep at night
But[C] I can[D]'t [G]sl[D]ee[G]p alone
Thin[D]k [Em]I'll sto[C]p of[D]f and[G] have a bite, and take the long way home.
