Tom Waits - The long way home chords
Start Jamming...
[Bb]
Well I stumbled in the darkness I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us And show the [Gm] way back home
[Eb] There's a light [Bb] up ahead I can't go [Eb] wrong or wrong
Forgive [Bb] me pretty [F] baby But I always take the [Bb] long way home
Money's just something you throw Off [F] the [Bb] back of a train
Gotta [F] head for [Bb] a lightning And hide for [Gm] a rain
[Eb] And I know that I [Bb] said I'd never [Eb] do it again
I [Bb] love you pretty [F] baby But I always take [Bb] the long way home
[Bb] I put food on the table And a [Bb] roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow For the [Gm] highway instead
Watch your [Eb] back you [F] pass your time [Bb] Love's the only [Eb] thing I've ever known
I [Bb] say for sure pretty [F] baby I always take [Bb] the long way home
[F] [A] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] Well [F]
[Bb] baby more [F] than [Bb] a white rose You [Bb] were my woman
I know you [Gm] are my pearl, [Eb] let's go out past the [F] party lights, [Bb] we can finally [Eb] be alone.
[Bb] Come with me [F] and we can take the [Bb] long way home.
[Eb] Mmm, [Bb] come with me, [F] together we can take the [Bb] long way home.
[Eb] Mmm, [Bb] come with me, [F] together we can take the [Bb] long way home.
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
