Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp

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

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

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

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

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

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