Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] Cm D# A# G# D# A# G# [Verse]

^D#You always ^A#know where you can find ^G#me ^D#I’m up here where the ^A#air is pure and ^G#true ^D#The cleverness of ^A#words just binds ^G#me ^D#They won’t ^A#help me to get over ^G#you

[Chorus]

^CmAnd maybe you got ^D#lost at the five ways ^A#Took a wrong ^Gmturn just like always ^CmOr did you just ^Dmtake the long way ^A#home?

^D#I hear the wind blow ^A#through the pine ^G#trees ^D#I watch the ^A#frozen lights come into ^G#view ^D#The stars ^A#above they don’t align ^G#me ^D#They only ^A#shine a dim light on ^G#you

[Chorus]

^CmAnd maybe you got ^D#lost at the five ways ^A#Took a wrong ^Gmturn just like always ^CmOr did you just ^Dmtake the long way ^A#home?

^D#I wanna ^A#hear you walk up right behind ^G#me ^D#But the dawn is ^A#come and it’s done me ^G#in ^CmAnd could it ^D#be that you don’t love me ^A#For who I ^Gmam or what I could be ^CmAnd from where I ^Dmam it’s such a long way ^A#down

^CmSo maybe you got ^D#lost at the five ways ^A#Took a wrong ^Gmturn just like always ^CmOr did you just ^Dmtake the long way ^A#home?

^D#Did you just ^A#take the long way ^G#home? D# A# G# ^D#Or did you just ^A#take the long way ^G#home?
