The Long Way Home Lyrics

LONG WAY HOME (Tom Waits)/ Norah Jones
I watched a live video and this is how Norah Jones plays it. She hammers on the 2
string/fret on G and Em. Hammer on the 3 in C
VERSE 1:
Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
There a light up ahead
I can't hold on very long
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Pause
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a head full of lightning
A hat full of rain
And I know that I said
I'd never do it again
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 3:
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the highway instead
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
BRIDGE:
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
VERSE 4:
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
You are my woman
I know you are my pearl
Let's go out past the party lights
Where we can finally be alone
Come with me...and we can take the long way home
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
