[Intro]
 
D  G
          Bm         A         G
So we're taking the long way home
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
D
Take me back to the middle of nowhere
G
Back to the place only you and I share
    Bm             A
Remember all the memories
     G
The fireflies and make believe
 
D
Kicking back at the old school yard
G
Singing songs on our guitars
Bm          A
This is our reality
G
Crazy, stupid you and me
 
   Bm               A                    G
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         D          A          G
So we're taking the long way home
                        D          A        G
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
            D                  A
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
              Bm               G
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby
         D           A         G
So we're taking the long way home
D
(Tonight)
 
D          A
Ohhh oooo oooo
 
          G                  D
We're taking the long way (home)
 
D          A
Ohhh oooo oooo
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
G
Yeah you know we took our time to get there
       Bm         A
We're hiding out in a dream
G
Catching fire like kerosene
 
D
And you know I'd never let you down
         G
'Til the sun comes up
 
We can own this town
Bm             A
Something like make believe
G
Living in a movie scene
 
    Bm              A                    G
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         D           A         G
So we're taking the long way home
                        D          A        G
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
            D               A
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
              Bm            G
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby
         D          A          G
So we're taking the long way home
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm                A
   Hitting every red light
G                   D
   Kissing at the stop signs darling
Bm              A         G
   Green Day's on the radio
Bm                    A
   And everything is alright
G                              D
   Now we're turning off the headlights darling

In the chorus, on the line "I wanna get lost and drive..." instead of D then G, it sounds to me like it goes D then A, but the rest stays the same.

I cannot for the life of me figure out a good strumming pattern for this song. Any ideas?

Capo 4th fret to match the studio recording (non acoustic version) if you want to play along. :)
