Standard (EADGBE)

 Lie awake, hear your call

 But I don’t feel like picking up right now

 I can’t take, anymore

 Of this “don’t look back keep looking forward”

 ‘cause every time I do, I just see you doing it all again

 I’m tired of going all these places we’ve already been

So I know

You say you are the sure route

You’ve got everything planned out

I’ll take the long way home

We were young when I met you

Don’t think that I ever said you

Could tell me where I want to go

 I’ll take the long way home

 Face to face, here we are

 This is harder than I thought to say

 I have given you chances

 And I’m out of blank slates to give away

 ‘cause every time I do, you just do it all again

 I’m tired of going all these places we’ve already been

So I know

You say you are the sure route

You’ve got everything planned out

I’ll take the long way home

We were young when I met you

Don’t think that I ever said you

Could tell me where I want to go

 I’ll take the long way home

And you ask me if I’m sure

You say its always better being together than alone

 I guess that’s why you have her

 And I’m running on my own

So I know

You say you are the sure route

You’ve got everything planned out

I’ll take the long way home

We were young when I met you

Don’t think that I ever said you

Could tell me where I want to go

So baby

I’ll take the long way

I’ll take the long way

I’ll take the long way, long way home

I’ll take the long way, I’ll take the long way

I’ll take the long way home

I know

You say you are the sure route

You’ve got everything planned out

I’ll take the long way home

We were young when I met you

Don’t think that I ever said you

Could tell me where I want to go

 I’ll take the long way home
