[Verse]
G        D        Em    C                   D
Take the long way home  she won't wait up tonight
      G        D        Em   C                      D
I can take the long way home and there won't be any fight
Em                     G
Tonight I can stay out late with the boys 
     C                    D
Play cards and come in at dawn
G         D       Em         G             C                 G
Since she left me I've got a choice  I can take the long way home
 
G           D      Em    C                D
No pictures on the wall  no carpet on the floor
G           Em     C                   D
No one ever calls  no one knocks on my door
Em                        G
It's just a place where I sleep at night
    C              D
But I can't sleep alone
G                       Em               C        D        G
Think I'll stop off and have a bite  and take the long way home.
C            D               G         D       Em
What makes a house a home is sometimes hard to say
C                      D                  C                   D
You never know all the riches you own til someone takes them away

[Outro]
Em                        G                       C            D
The night is clear and my work is through  it's a shame to be alone
G                    Em      G    C             D        G    Em
Think I'll go have a beer or two  I'll take the long way home
          C        D       G
I'll just take the long way home.
