Long Way Home by Tom Waits




              Long Way Home 







VERSE 1:
Bb
Well I stumbled in the darkness
Bb
I'm lost and alone
Bb
Though I said I'd go before us
Bb		      Gm
And show the way back home
Gm	Eb	  Bb
There a light up ahead
Bb		     Eb	  /D
I can't hold on very long
Bb			     F/A		      Bb
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home


VERSE 2:
Bb
Money's just something you throw
Bb
Off the back of a train
Bb
Got a head full of lightning
Bb	      Gm
A hat full of rain
Gm    Eb	  Bb
And I know that I said
Bb		Eb	/D
I'd never do it again
Bb				 F/A			  Bb
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home


VERSE 3:
Bb
I put food on the table
Bb
And roof overhead
Bb
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
Bb		  Gm
For the highway instead
Gm	   Eb			     F			
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
Bb				     Eb
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
Eb/D	      Bb		 F/A			  Bb
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home


BRIDGE:
F/A	Bb     Eb     F
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm


VERSE 4:
F		    Bb
You know I love you baby
Bb
More than the whole wide world
Bb
You are my woman
Bb		  Gm
I know you are my pearl
Gm	 Eb		    F
Let's go out past the party lights
      Bb		 Eb
Where we can finally be alone
Eb/D      Bb	 F/A			  Bb
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Bb    Eb	     Bb		  F/A			   Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
Bb    Eb	     Bb		  F/A			   Bb
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
