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

[Em chordEm] But there are times that you [Em7 chordEm7] feel you're part of the [Am chordAm] scenery, [Am7 chordAm7]
All the [F chordF] greenery, [Dm chordDm] is comin' [Bb chordBb] down, [F chordF] boy.
[G chordG] And then your wife seems to [Em7 chordEm7] think you're part of the [Am chordAm] furniture, [Am7 chordAm7]
Oh, it's pe- [F chordF] culiar, [Dm chordDm] she used to [Bb chordBb] be [F chordF] so [G chordG] nice.

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

[Em chordEm] And when you're up on the [Em7 chordEm7] stage, it's so un- [Am chordAm] believable, [Am7 chordAm7]
Unfor- [F chordF] gettable, [Dm chordDm] how they a- [Bb chordBb] dore [F chordF] you,
[G chordG] But then your wife seems to [Em7 chordEm7] think you're losing your [Am chordAm] sanity, [Am7 chordAm7]
Oh, cal- [F chordF] amity, is there [Bb chordBb] no [F chordF] way [G chordG] out?

Solo: (Intro)
[Em chordEm] Does it feel that your [Em7 chordEm7] life's become a cat- [Am chordAm] astrophe? [Am7 chordAm7]
Oh, it [F chordF] has to be, [Dm chordDm] for you to [Bb chordBb] grow, [F chordF] boy.
[G chordG] When you look through the [Em7 chordEm7] years and see what you [Am chordAm] could have been, [Am7 chordAm7]
Oh, what you [F chordF] might have been, [Dm chordDm] if you'd [Bb chordBb] had [F chordF] more [G chordG] time.

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