Long Way Home

Tom: C

C                          G 
Ramblin boy, you've been around
                    Am
Dallas to the underground
                      F
High above and down below
                       C
Places I was scared to go
                              G
You sing it loud in case they heard
                    Am
Hanging on to every word
                 F
Gentle as a lullaby
                     C
Firecrackers in your eyes

                 G
And I would give anything
         Am
One more night to run
         F             C
One more song to sing 
                  G
You weren't asking much at all
               Am
Just catch you when you fall
        F
On your own
             C
The long way home

C                            G 
What's that sadness in your smile
                             Am
Have you been crying all the while
                       F 
Could you lean upon my shoulder
                          C 
Guess you die or just get older
C                          G
So what are we supposed to do
                         Am
Just walk around forever blue
                          F
And all this hurry-up and wait
                        C 
Was it chance or was it fate
