E
There's a place at the edge of town>
A
Where everybody hangs around
B7 E
Watchin' the sun go down until it's gone>
E
Sometimes I drop in
A
In fact more than now and then
B7 E
Lately I've been takin' the long way home
E
Sometimes she still holds me tight
A
And tells me everything's alright
B7 E
Even though I know she's already moved on
E
Here I am my friend
A
Where I seem to wind up in the end
B7 E
And once again I'm takin' the long way home
A E
It's a long way, long way from here to there
A B7
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care
Break
E
There's really nothin' for me here
A
But I guess I'll have another beer
B7 E
And walk on over there and play one more song
E
And when it's time for me to go
A
Where I'm going I don't know
B7 E
I just know I'm takin' the long way home
A E
It's a long way, long way from here to there
A B7
Gettin' longer everyday but she don't care
E
Still sittin' here my friend
A
I knew I'd be here till the end
B7 E
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
A B7 A E
'Cause once again I'm takin' the long way home
