A
(Detour, detour)
A
Ooh, we got to make a detour


[Verse 1]
A
The people try, but crash right down
A
Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage
A
We're all good people if you go deep down
A
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age
D
Time for a detour
D                         D7     D
We oughta take the curve (Detour now)
D
Taking the detour
D                           D7     D
Ooh it's time for a swerve (Detour now)


[Pre-Chorus]
D
The world's in a spin now
     A
It's time for a change
   C
We know we can win now
      G
We'll share the wage, we cause no pain
   Bb
We can explain, we lost the force, we went off course


[Chorus]
                A
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
A
 (Detour)
A
With a curve and a swerve (Detour)
A
Mmm, detour (Detour)


[Verse 2]
A
Forget that flaw from back in the days
A
And the power we sought as we took the stage
A
Made it 15 years till we found our ways
A
Our direction veers as we turn the page
D
Gotta take a detour
D                    D7     D
The road is blocked (Detour now)
D
Time for a detour
D                           D7     D
Ooh, the gates are locked (Detour now)


[Pre-Chorus]
D                             A
We're finally tracking in the path of the groove
      C                     G
We're willingly backing the path of the moon
G
There'll be no more pain
   Bb
We can explain, we found the force, we're back on course


[Chorus]
          A
We need a detour (Detour)
A
Gotta make the detour (Detour)
A
Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)
A
 (Detour)


[Bridge]
C                                G
Used to say I love you but I was straight insane
   F#m                         Em
I always left you holding the weight of my pain
       F                        G
'Cause I couldn't stay for even one more day
  Bb                           C
I broke two hearts, I couldn't share the parts
            D
Then I ran away


[Verse 3]
A
People try to crash right down
A
Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage
A
We're all good people if you go deep down
A
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age
D
Time for a detour
D                         D7     D
We gotta take the curve (Detour now)
D
Making the detour
D                        D7     D
It's time for a swerve (Detour now)


[Pre-Chorus]
D
The world is spinnin'
     A
It's time for a change
   C
We know we ain't winning
      G
We share the wage, we cause no pain
Bb
We can explain, we lost the force, we went off course


[Chorus]
                A
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
A
Oh, I got to have a detour (Detour)
A
Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)
A
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)


[Outro]
A
 (Detour) Take a curve and a swerve
A
 (Detour)
A
 (Detour)
A
We need a detour (Detour)
A
