The Long Way Around

F               C            F  
My friends from high school
         C

F             C           F     
Married their high school 
       C
boyfriends
F          C        F        C
Moved into houses
       F        C                 
In the same ZIP codes where their 
F       C
parents live

   Am                F       C   
But I, I could never follow
    F       C

   Am               F       C    
No I, I could never follow
   F       C


F         C        F        C
I hit the highway
     F     C      F         
In a pink RV with stars on the 
   C
ceiling
F            C       F       C
Lived like a gypsy
F          C            F        
Six strong hands on the steering 
C
wheel

            Am   G    F    C
I've been a long time gone now
      Am       G                 
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna 
F      C
settle down
         Am     G        F       C
But I've always found my way somehow

   Am         G         F        C
By taking the long way
Am         G         F         C
Taking the long way around
Am         G         F         C

F     C     F     C ...

          F        C        F    
I met the queen of whatever
    C

F              C         F      
Drank with the Irish and smoked 
         C
with the hippies
F              C         F         C
Moved with the shakers
         F            C        
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that 
       F       C
they told me to

   Am               F       C    
No I, I could never follow
   F       C

   Am               G
No I, I could never follow


          Am  G    F     C
It's been two long years now
          Am         G        
Since the top of the world came 
  F        C
crashing down
        Am         G           F 
And I'm gettin' it back on the 
   C
road now

        Am         G        F    
But I’m taking the long way
    C

Am         G        F        C
Taking the long way around
    Am         G        F        C
I’m taking the long way
    Am         G        F
I’m taking the long way around


G   F                            
Oh, I just take my time I won't 
   G
lay down
    F
And take the long way 'round

Am      G       F       C         
(end on F)


        F             C           
Well, I fought with a stranger and
   F     C
 I met myself
  F         C           F       C
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
       F          C               
It can get pretty lonely when you 
F        C
show yourself
F                  C              
Guess I could have made it easier 
F    C
on myself

   Am                F       C   
But I, I could never follow
    F       C

   Am               G
No I, I could never follow

        Am            G          
Well, I never seem to do it like 
F       C
anybody else
      Am       G                 
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna 
F      C
settle down
       Am           G             
If you ever want to find me I can 
F        C
still be found

Am         G        F       C
Taking the long way
Am         G        F       C
Taking the long way around
