A F#m D9 E7 A F#m D9 E
Let's take the long way home,
Edim A A7 D9 Cdim D9 E7
Let's look for the long way home;
E7 Fdim A F#m D9
And on the way, let's pretend
Cdim A C#m7-5 F#m D9 E7
That this won - der - ful night won't end.
Edim A F#m D9 A F#m D9 E7
Through Asia would be much too soon,
Fdim A A7 D9 Cdim(IV) C#7
We'll circle once around the moon,
D9 A F#m D9 E7 F#7 Bm7-5
Our dream boat will carry us across the foam,
A F#m D9 E7 A F#m D9 E7
We'll take the long way, make sure it's the wrong way,
A F#m D9 E7 A
Let's take the long way home.
