Tom: A
D A D A D A E
[Verse 1]
A D A
Nine times out of ten, I'll take my own cab home
A D A E
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
F#m D A F#m
But when I feel as high as my soul does low
D E
The angel on my shoulder dares to show
[Chorus]
A
I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
After all you put me through
[Verse 2]
A D A
Love is just a liar by another name
A D A E
Lust is just a fire I've been tryin' to tame
F#m D A F#m
I fuel it if I must, but keep the heat contained
D E
It's the winds inside my heart that fan my flame
[Chorus]
A
I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
After all you put me through
A
Yeah, I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
Where I haven't gone is where you led me to
[Bridge]
Bm D A E Bm
Out here on this dark road, I'm not even sure if I wanna make it to my door
Bm D A E
Lately, it don't keep the peace that I need to sleep anymore
[Instrumental]
A D A D A E
[Verse 3]
A D A
Nine times out of ten, I'll write my number wrong
A D A E
If I wasn't lonesome, how would I stay strong?
F#m D A F#m
When depression's dark as the night is long
D E
A pair of arms becomes where I belong
[Chorus]
A
I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
After all you put me through
A
Yeah, I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
After all you put me through
A
And I take the long way home
D A
I take the long way home
D A E
What I haven't done is what you made me do
[Outro]
A D A
Nine times out of ten, I'll take my own cab home
A D A
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
