Long Way Home

Tom Waits, Kathleen Brennan

	C
	Well I stumbled in the darkness

I'm lost and alone

Though I said I'd go before us

	Am
And show the way back	home

	F	G
There a	light up	ahead

	C	F
I	can't hold on very	long

	C	G	C
For	give me pretty baby but I	always take the long way	home

Money's just something you throw

Off the back of a train

Got a head full of lightning

A hat full of rain

Yes I know that I said

I'd never do it again

And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I put food on the table

And a roof overhead

But I'd trade it all tomorrow

For the highway instead

Watch your back if I should tell you

Love's the only thing I've ever known

One thing's for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

You know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world

You are my woman

You know you are my pearl

Let's go out past the party lights

Where we can finally be alone

Come with me and we can take the long way home

	F	G	C
Come with	me, together	we can take the long way	home

	F	G	C
Come with	me, together	we can take the long way	home
