LONG WAY HOME 
I play this in F but I use a capo on the 4th fret and use the C position, so I charted it in C
CRamblin boy, you've been arGound
Dallas to the undergAmround
High above and down beFlow
Places I was scared to Cgo
You sing it loud in case they Gheard
Hanging on to every Amword
Gentle as a lullaFby
Firecrackers in your Ceyes
And I would give Ganything
One more Amnight to run
One more Fsong to sing C  
You weren't asking Gmuch at all
Just catch you Amwhen you fall
On your Fown
The long way Chome
CWhat's that sadness in your sGmile
Have you been crying all the Amwhile
Could you lean upon my Fshoulder
Guess you die or just get Colder
CSo what are we supposed to Gdo
Just walk around forever Amblue
And all this hurry-up and Fwait
Was it chance or was it Cfate
Repeat Chorus x 2

LONG WAY HOME

I play this in F but I use a capo on the 4th fret and use the C position, so I charted it in C

C G

Ramblin boy, you've been around

Dallas to the underground

High above and down below

Places I was scared to go

You sing it loud in case they heard

Hanging on to every word

Gentle as a lullaby

Firecrackers in your eyes

And I would give anything

One more night to run

F C

One more song to sing

You weren't asking much at all

Just catch you when you fall

On your own

The long way home

C G

What's that sadness in your smile

Have you been crying all the while

Could you lean upon my shoulder

Guess you die or just get older

C G

So what are we supposed to do

Just walk around forever blue

And all this hurry-up and wait

Was it chance or was it fate

Repeat Chorus x 2
