Intro: [Eb Eb] [Bb Bb] [C C] [Eb Eb] [Bb Bb] [C C] [Eb Eb] [Bb Bb] [C C] x2
[Eb Eb] So you think you're a [Bb Bb] Romeo,
[F F] Playing a part in a [C C] picture-show.
Take the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] take the [C C] long way home.
[Eb Eb] 'Cause you're the joke of the [Bb Bb] neighborhood,
[F F] Why should you care if you're [C C] feeling good.
Take the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] take the [C C] long way home.

[Em Em] But there are times that you [Em7 Em7] feel you're part of the [Am Am] scenery, [Am7 Am7]
All the [F F] greenery, [Dm Dm] is comin' [Bb Bb] down, [F F] boy.
[G G] And then your wife seems to [Em7 Em7] think you're part of the [Am Am] furniture, [Am7 Am7]
Oh, it's pe- [F F] culiar, [Dm Dm] she used to [Bb Bb] be [F F] so [G G] nice.

[Eb Eb] When lonely days turn to [Bb Bb] lonely nights,
[F F] You take a trip to the [C C] city lights.
And take the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] take the [C C] long way home.
[Eb Eb] You never see what you [Bb Bb] want to see,
[F F] Forever playing to the [C C] gallery.
You take the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] take the [C C] long way home.

[Em Em] And when you're up on the [Em7 Em7] stage, it's so un- [Am Am] believable, [Am7 Am7]
Unfor- [F F] gettable, [Dm Dm] how they a- [Bb Bb] dore [F F] you,
[G G] But then your wife seems to [Em7 Em7] think you're losing your [Am Am] sanity, [Am7 Am7]
Oh, cal- [F F] amity, is there [Bb Bb] no [F F] way [G G] out?

Solo: (Intro)
[Em Em] Does it feel that your [Em7 Em7] life's become a cat- [Am Am] astrophe? [Am7 Am7]
Oh, it [F F] has to be, [Dm Dm] for you to [Bb Bb] grow, [F F] boy.
[G G] When you look through the [Em7 Em7] years and see what you [Am Am] could have been, [Am7 Am7]
Oh, what you [F F] might have been, [Dm Dm] if you'd [Bb Bb] had [F F] more [G G] time.

[Eb Eb] So, when the day comes to [Bb Bb] settle down,
[F F] Who's to blame if you're [C C] not around?
You took the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] you took the [C C] long way home,
You took the [Bb Bb] long way home, [F F] you took the [C C] long way home. (repeat & fade)
