So, you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show.
Bb

Well, take the long way
home. Take the long way home.
You're the joke of the
neighborhood; why should you care if you're feeling good?
Well, take the long way
home. Take the long way home.

But there are times that you

And then your wife seems to

Oh, it's peculiar, she used to
be so nice.
When lonely days turn to
lonely nights, you take a trip to the city lights.
And take the long way
home. Take the long way home.
You never see what you want to
see, forever playing to the gallery.
You take the long way home. Take the long way home.
And when you're up on the
stage, it's so unbelievable,
Oh, unforgettable, how they
adore you.
But then your wife seems to
think you're losing your sanity.
Oh, calamity, oh is there no
way out?
Does it feel that your life's
become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be, for you to
grow, boy.
When you look through the
years and see what you could have been,
Oh, what you might have been,
if you'd had more time.
