Version 1 Version 3 Version 4[Intro] Eb Bb F C Bb F C x2 [Verse 1] Eb Bb So you think you're a Romeo, F C Playing a part in a picture-show. Bb F C Take the long way home, take the long way home. Eb Bb 'Cause you're the joke of the neighborhood, F C Why should you care if you're feeling good. Bb F C Take the long way home, take the long way home. [Bridge 1] Em Em7 Am Am7 But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery, F Dm Bb F All the greenery, is comin' down, boy. G Em7 Am Am7 And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture, F Dm Bb F G Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. [Verse 2] Eb Bb When lonely days turn to lonely nights, F C You take a trip to the city lights. Bb F C And take the long way home, take the long way home. Eb Bb You never see what you want to see, F C Forever playing to the gallery. Bb F C You take the long way home, take the long way home. [Bridge 2] Em Em7 Am Am7 And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, F Dm Bb F Unforgettable, how they adore you, G Em7 Am Am7 But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, F Bb F G Oh, calamity, is there no way out? [Solo] Eb Bb F C Bb F C x2 [Bridge 3] Em Em7 Am Am7 Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe? F Dm Bb F Oh, it has to be, for you to grow, boy. G Em7 Am Am7 When you look through the years and see what you could have been, F Dm Bb F G Oh, what you might have been, if you'd had more time. [Verse 3] Eb Bb So, when the day comes to settle down, F C Who's to blame if you're not around? Bb F C You took the long way home, you took the long way home, Bb F C You took the long way home, you took the long way home. (repeat & fade)
