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
