So we're taking the long way home 

verse 1 

D 
Take me back to the middle of nowhere 
G 
Back to the place only you and I share 
    Bm             A 
Remember all the memories 
     G 
The fireflies and make believe 

D 
Kicking back at the old school yard 
G 
Singing songs on our guitars 
Bm          A 
This is our reality 
G 
Crazy, stupid you and me 

   Bm               A                    G 
We know this is the way it's supposed to be 

Chorus 

         D          A          G 
So we're taking the long way home 
                        D          A        G 
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone 
            D                  G              
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you 
              Bm               A 
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby 
         D           A         G 
So we're taking the long way home 
D      
(Tonight) 

D          A 
Ohhh oooo oooo 

          G                  D      
We're taking the long way (home)

Ohhh oooo oooo 

verse 2 

D                       
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere 
G                              
Yeah you know we took our time to get there 
       Bm         A 
We're hiding out in a dream 
G 
Catching fire like kerosene 

D                      
And you know I'd never let you down 
         G 
'Til the sun comes up 
        
We can own this town 
Bm             A 
Something like make believe 
G 
Living in a movie scene 

    Bm              A                    G 
We know this is the way it's supposed to be

So we're taking the long way home 
                        D          A        G 
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone 
            D               G  
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you 
              Bm            A 
Talkin' 'bout nothing yeah whatever baby 
         D          A          G

BRIDGE 

Bm                A 
   Hitting every red light

   Kissing at the stop signs darling 
Bm              A         G      
   Green Day's on the radio 
Bm                    A 
   And everything is alright
