F C F C ...

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

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

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

                   Am   G      F     C
I've been a long time gone now
            Am          G                              F        C
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna 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

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

I met the queen of whatever

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

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

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

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

I’m taking the long way around

G     F                                           G
Oh, I just take my time I won't lay down

And take the long way 'round

Am G F C (end on F)

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