F                  Bb
  So tired of this heavy load
F                       Bb
  I've been carrying it for so long
Dm             Bb                 C
  I don't know what it wants with me

Lord, please let me be

[Verse 1]
F                             Bb
Rolling dice on my hotel room bed
       F                                  Bb
And it feels so nice to love someone she said
               C                 Bb               F
Cause when the evening comes I'm scared to be all by myself
      C            Bb                 F
And I know exactly how it feels to be by myself


[Verse 2]
                      F                                  Bb
And now she's singing happiness always scared me half to death
      F                         Bb
Never had myself no lovin' to caress
               C                    Bb                   F
Little darling stop those tears and dry your eyes, I'm a be right here
        C              Bb                      F
And I'd really love to stay tonight, if you'll have me here


[Chorus]
F       Bb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
       F                        C
Little girl you know I love you so
              Dm           Bb
Let's take it easy now and simmer down
       C                              F
Little girl, let's take the long way home
       C                              F
Little girl, let's take the long way home


[Interlude]

[Chorus]
F       Bb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
       F                        C
Little girl you know I love you so
              Dm           Bb
Let's take it easy now and simmer down
       C                              F
Little girl, let's take the long way home
       C                              F
Little girl, let's take the long way home
       C                              F
Little girl, let's take the long way home
       C                                F
Little girl, let's take the long way home
