Intro: Cm G# Cm G# Cm G# Cm Fm D# 

verse 1 
D#                       G#    Bb 
I am taking the long way home 
                 Cm          G#    Gm  Bb 
I really messed up and I'm late again 
         D# 
And my belly aches from fear 
                 G#      
How, when and where? 
           Bb         Cm 
How can keys just disappear? 
          G#               D#    Bb 
I would die to have them here again 

Pre-Chorus 1 
Fm                             Gm 
All the luck in the world, strength and magic 
          G#             Bb 
Is not enough for a fate so tragic 
Cm           Fm 
Every piece of that heart 
Gm                Dm          Cm      G# 
Afraid to go in just to fall apart 

Chorus 
D#          Bb 
On a rainy day 
           G#                  Bb 
Home is where you're feeling safe 
      Cm                   G#   Bb 
And where you always feel ok to stay 
         D#    Bb                   G#   
And a lovely day you'll be on your way 
                 Bb      Cm 
To build this perfect family 
             G#                 Bb       D# 
Now do you think that's gonna happen,  
    Cm 
-to me? 

Guitar Solo: G# Gm D# Dm D# G# Fm Bb 

verse 2 
D#                    Gm 
I am taking the long way 
       G#         Bb 
And I walk real slow 
              Cm              G#    
And I don't mind that it's raining 
                   Bb 
Because then the tears won't seem to show 
         D#             Gm                G#     
And I wonder what the world would really say 
        Bb                Cm 
If I simply disappeared today 
G#                 Bb      
I guess no one would notice anyway 

Pre-Chorus 2  
Fm                           Gm 
All the luck in the world strength and magic 
G#            Bb 
Is not enough to heal, it's tragic 
Cm          Fm 
Every part of that heart 
Gm      G# 
-Afraid 

Chorus 
        D#       Bb 
And on a rainy day 
      G#                  Bb 
Home is where you're feeling safe 
       Cm          G#     Bb 
Where you always feel ok to stay 
    D#     Bb                   G# 
And a lovely day you'll be on your way 
           Bb        Cm 
To build this perfect family 
           G#             Bb 
What do you think is gonna happen,  
   Cm 
-to me?

G#                       Bb  Cm   Bb  Cm 
And all that I can do is cry
