verse 1
C Dm F
The other night I took the long way home
G C
Out past the old schoolyard
C Dm F
It's funny how you keep it all inside
G C
Dreams they do die hard
verse 2
C Dm F
I closed my eyes and I could see your face
G C
Somewhere back in time
C Dm F
One summer night a million miles ago
G C
Back when you were mine
C Dm F
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
G C
But don't carve the words in stone
C
I know it's late
Dm F
But can't you see I was only
G C
Taking the long way home
verse 3
C Dm F
Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
G C
In trying to be free
C Dm F
And all those dreams I sailed away to find
G C
Were right in front of me
C Dm F
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
G C
But don't carve the words in stone
C
I know it's late
Dm F
But can't you see I was only
G C
Taking the long way home
Bridge
Dm G C
Although the letters stopped many years ago
Am D G
I'll show you even time could not keep this heart
A
from letting go
